Romanian businesses, trade partners united behind Romania’s bid for Schengen membership

Lowering developmental discrepancies, strengthening trade, improving shipping times and just-in-time delivery, transforming the port of Constanta into an entry point for Asian goods into Europe, immediate increases in FDI, a more prosperous tourism sector benefiting from Asian tourists, lower transportation costs, and less pollution, all and more await Romania once it becomes part of Schengen, according to the local business community.

The Romanian business sector and representatives of the American, Dutch, French, and German chambers of commerce, reunited in the Coaliția pentru Dezvoltarea României (Coalition for the Development of Romania), renewed their calls for Romania’s awaited accession to the Schengen area during a conference on Thursday, November 17.
