Coronavirus
\nworld.<\/strong> Coronavirus cases worldwide pass 5.9 million. Almost 2.9 million people
\nhave recovered and more than 360,000 have died. In Brazil, which is considered
\nthe new epicentre of the pandemic, the death toll passes 26,700. In South
\nKorea, hundreds of schools are closing again just days after reopening following
\na fresh outbreak of the virus. In the meantime, more and more European states
\nare easing restrictions. The French government has announced the reopening of
\nbars, cafes and restaurants beginning on 2nd of June. Italy plans to
\nallow its citizens to travel freely within the country beginning next Wednesday
\nand even to open its borders for the Schengen states and the UK without a
\n14-day quarantine on arrivals. <\/p>\n

Schools. <\/strong>Romanian pupils in their
\nfinal secondary and high school years will return to school on 2nd
\nJune for ten days to prepare for their upcoming national exams. Education
\nminister Monica Anisie said, however, that attendance is optional. The
\nauthorities have decided to go ahead with the established timetable for
\nexaminations, namely 15th June for secondary school exams and high
\nschool exams beginning a week later, on the 22nd June. All schools
\nwere closed in Romania on 11th March because of the coronavirus
\npandemic with teaching being conducted online, and will only reopen in autumn. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Support. <\/strong>The Romanian government has adopted a series
\nof measures to support the employees returning to work after 1st
\nJune, as well as employers. The state is to cover salary costs for the next
\nthree months, with employers undertaking to maintain the respective jobs for a
\nfurther six months. The areas that will still be affected after 1st
\nJune will also be identified, with the furlough scheme to still be supported by
\nthe state. Around 430,000 employment contracts have been terminated and some
\n596,000 suspended because of the health crisis generated by the novel
\ncoronavirus. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No-confidence.<\/strong> Simple no-confidence motions will be submitted next week against the Liberal ministers for labour, Violeta Alexandru, and regional development, Ion Stefan, said the Social Democratic Party, the largest opposition party in Romania. The move comes after four similar recent motions passed by Parliament against the finance, agriculture, interior and education ministers, who were criticised for their handling of their respective areas during the coronavirus crisis. The Social Democrats even threaten to submit a no-confidence motion against the Liberal minority government if the latter amends a pensions law providing for a 40% increase in pensions beginning this autumn.<\/p>\n

Renault. <\/strong>The French car maker Renault has unveiled an
\nextensive cost-saving plan part of which some 15,000 jobs will be cut
\nworldwide, including 4,600 in France. The group also says it will freeze plans
\nto expand production capacity in Romania and Morocco. France Presse news agency
\nquotes experts as saying that Renault was facing a weakening of its brand in
\nEurope and difficulties in its alliance with the Japanese companies Nissan and
\nMitsubishi even before the coronavirus crisis. According to specialists,
\nbetween 2009 and 2019, Renault managed, however, to increase its market share
\nin Europe by more than 1% to reach 10.5%, this achievement being linked
\nexclusively to the Romanian brand Dacia, which saw its sales double. Dacia was
\ntaken over by Renault in 1999 and relaunched in 2004 with the Logan car,
\nbecoming in the following years a significant player on the European car
\nmarket. (CM)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
