According to him, Romania is&#13;<br \/>\nHungary&#8217;s third export market and an investment place very popular with the Hungarian&#13;<br \/>\ninvestors. The Hungarian Foreign Minister has also mentioned that a minority of&#13;<br \/>\nRomanians is living on the Hungarian territory while a Hungarian minority is&#13;<br \/>\nliving in Romania. In December last year, Austria blocked Romania and&#13;<br \/>\nBulgaria&#8217;s access to Schengen invoking that it could not support its enlargement&#13;<br \/>\nas long as this area is not functional.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=font-size: 1em;><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=font-size: 1em;>VISIT The first formal&#13;<br \/>\nvisit, the Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu has paid to Brussels since he&#13;<br \/>\ntook office, kicks off today with a meeting with the European Council president&#13;<br \/>\nCharles Michel. Ciolacu will also have talks with the head of the European&#13;<br \/>\nCommission, Ursula Von der Leyen, and with the president of the European&#13;<br \/>\nParliament Roberta Metsola. &#8216;Romania is stable politically and economically and&#13;<br \/>\nhas seen the second biggest economic growth among the EU members, strongly&#13;<br \/>\nsupported by the direct foreign investment. We are going to preserve the&#13;<br \/>\ndynamics of the Romanian economy and the investors&#8217; trust through the reform we&#13;<br \/>\nhave been making in the essential fields&#8217;, the Romanian Prime Minister went on&#13;<br \/>\nto say. Romania would like to be allowed a budget deficit over 5% and in order&#13;<br \/>\nto convince Brussels, the Prime Minister is expected to propose a series of&#13;<br \/>\nfiscal measures. These include bringing the number of VAT quotas down to only two&#13;<br \/>\nand cancelling a number of facilities. Ciolacu is expected to explain that Romania&#13;<br \/>\nneeds a budget deficit of 5% because the country has supported the neighboring&#13;<br \/>\nUkraine affected by the war.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>DIPLOMACY The&#13;<br \/>\nRomanian diplomacy will continue to support and promote solid partnerships and&#13;<br \/>\nrelationships based on democratic values, respect for fundamental freedoms and&#13;<br \/>\nrights, international law and order based on rules &#8211; the Romanian Foreign&#13;<br \/>\nMinister Luminita Odobescu said on Friday. In her message on the Romanian&#13;<br \/>\nDiplomacy Day, Mrs. Odobescu recalls that this day is being celebrated &#8216;in a&#13;<br \/>\ndifficult and complex regional context, which jointly with the accelerated&#13;<br \/>\nglobal developments calls more than ever for a predictable foreign policy,&#13;<br \/>\ncoherent, adjusted, dynamic and anticipating.&#8217; Referring to the priorities of&#13;<br \/>\nthe Romanian diplomacy, Mrs. Odobescu enumerated the increasing role and&#13;<br \/>\ninfluence of Romania&#8217;s inside the EU and NATO as well as the development and&#13;<br \/>\ndeepening of the country&#8217;s Strategic Partnership with the USA. And neither will&#13;<br \/>\nthe development of the consular services for the Romanian nationals outside the&#13;<br \/>\ncountry be neglected &#8211; the Romanian official went on to say. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>TEAM A team of the European Commission is to visit Romania on&#13;<br \/>\nFriday and Saturday for talks on ways to streamline the local capabilities&#13;<br \/>\nhandling the Ukrainian grain exports, after Russia has left the initiative&#13;<br \/>\nregarding these exports through the Black Sea and is presently threatening&#13;<br \/>\nmaritime civil transportation.
