Foreign workers.<\/strong> The government in Bucharest has
\nagreed to increase the number of non-EU foreign workers in Romania by an
\nadditional 8,000, following the request of several businesses. The number of
\nwork permits issued this year has already increased by 50%. According to the
\nGeneral Immigration Inspectorate, 4,395 work and posting permits had been
\nissued until July, mostly for workers from Vietnam, Turkey, Nepal, Serbia, Sri
\nLanka, China and the Republic of Moldova. 17,000 non-EU foreign workers are
\ncurrently employed in Romania, mainly in areas such as the restaurant business,
\nthe building of ships and floating structures, trade and constructions. <\/p>\n

Tourism.<\/strong> Tourist structures in Romania have reported more than 5.2 million
\narrivals in the first six months of the year, up more than 4% compared with the
\nsame time last year. According to the National Institute for Statistics,
\nRomanian tourists account for almost 76% of the number of arrivals. Among
\nforeign tourists, the largest number of arrivals came from Germany, Israel and
\nItaly. The border authorities have reported over 5.1 million entries from
\nforeign visitors, 7% more than last year. Most foreign visitors to Romania come
\nfrom countries in Europe. The largest number of entries are from Bulgaria,
\nHungary and Italy. <\/p>\n

Virus.<\/strong> Romanian farmers will be able
\nto replace the losses caused by African swine fever, said the agriculture
\nminister in Bucharest Petre Daea. According to the animal and food safety body,
\nthe number of hotbeds in Romania has reached 545. Almost 60,000 sick pigs have
\nbeen culled so far. The authorities have called on the population to allow the
\nculling of sick animals and respect prevention measures. The farmers affected
\nhave received compensations. Payments of around 32,000 euros have been made so
\nfar. The African swine fever virus cannot be transmitted to humans, but its
\nsocial and economic impact is significant. The virus has been spreading fast
\nsince the beginning of June.<\/p>\n

Wheat.<\/strong> Cairo, the world’s biggest
\nwheat importer, on Thursday bought 240,000 tonnes of wheat from Russia and
\nRomania at a tender held by the General Authority for Supply Commodities in
\nCairo, the body responsible for strategic grain purchases on behalf of the
\nEgyptian state. Russia is to supply 180,000 tonnes of wheat and Romania 60,000.
\nThe deliveries will be made between the 11th and the 20th
\nof September. The confusion over Egypt’s policy regarding ergot, a type of
\nfungus found in grain, last year caused turbulence on the global wheat markets.
\nEventually, the Egyptian government abandoned its zero tolerance policy for
\nimports of wheat containing ergot.<\/p>\n

\n10 different stages are hosting 250 acts over the course of four days. The main

\nBuuren, Tiesto, Tujamo and Afrojack. For the first time, the concerts are
\nbroadcast live on YouTube. More than 1,100 gendarme and police forces, fire-fighters
\nand medical staff have been deployed and dozens of surveillance cameras have
\nbeen put in place. <\/p>\n
