forum of business people, held in Bucharest, Romania, the Chamber of Commerce
and Industry’s (CCI) press service has reported.

Romanian companies. At the same time, after entrance into force of the Deep and
Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement with EU, Moldova was set to transform the
national economy, which creates new opportunities for European companies. “Only
for infrastructure projects, such as road and energy, the volume of projects
that are to be implemented in the next years exceeds 1 billion euros, and we
need strong companies, such as those from Romania”, he said.
For his

the most effective”, the companies being able to mutually promote trade deals
and even common production within actions promoted by the two chambers.

between the banks of the Dniestre” and DCFTA project – Informing and

products in trade networks.
