Romania: Finally eligible to be in EU

 

State secretary of MAE - George Ciamba - said yesterday that it's for the first time when Romania accomplishes all criteria for being in EU and this is easily noticeable by the increase of foreign investings in the last period.

 

The transformations of Romania to aspire at EU "have contributed irreversibly to consolidation of reform processes, contributed to making a modern society, have essentially contributed to economic development".

 

 

"Back in 2004, Romania's P.I.B. (Internal Product) was 80 billion euros, last year, when we had the best P.I.B., we reached 140 billion euros", the State secretary Of European Affairs said at a press conference called "After ten years...", organized by European Comission in Bucharest, 10 years after 10 eastern-european countries aspired to be integrated in EU and seven years since Romania and Bulgaria were integrated.

 

During these past 7 years of EU, Romania had "a quite important contribution" for Europe's evolution, Mr. Ciamba said.

 

"Romania is an active participan at economical mechanisms of coordination from EU and also at measures meant to relaunch the economy (...) We entered Pact Euro Plus, we are part of treatment for stability, coordination and guvernance among EU and Monetary, but we are also part of the process of negotiation of Union's Bank", the Romanian official added.

 

He also said that Romania is among "the elite group of the ones who succeeded to get out of the procedure of excessive deficit" and it is "very goo ranked for accomplishing the bugetary objectives".

 

"I believe there are best chances that during this year, what we already achieved in 2013, to be accomplished along with the criteria of Maastrich, regarding inflation. We believe that at this very moment it is for the first time when we did accomplish all criteria for being in EU", he pointed out.
