Yes Clearman, you're right. Chinese will now work for Romanians. That's a shame and pity. Do you believe the situation is ever going to re-establish again?

Here are several minimum wage rates in Europe. They are forced to work abroad now, but if the rate increase in Romania, they'll return home. It's normal for Europe, this is an advantage to be EU member

[Terry]

So the worst situation is in Montenegro and the Ukraine. But Ukrainians are not emigrating as much as Romanians do. If they were in the EU, they would certainly leave the country empty.

[Faw_Peter]

Romania will be developing in the next years. Big European companies began to open there their subsidies, it will create new workplaces.

[M.Helen]

In Romania and Bulgaria, companies began to hire many Turks for performing their works. They are also considered to be cheap labour force for certain types of works.

[clearman]

Turks are in Romania and Bulgaria in great number before their join....

[Steven]

yes, but after Romania and Bulgaria entered EU their number increased considerably. Romanians don't really like them, it's connected with the history between these two countries.

[clearman]

Not really....Romanians hated the Turks in the past, today they are allowed in Romania....no problem at all with Turk emigrants in Romania....

I saw that in Bulgaria are some ethnic misunderstandings between Turks and Bulgarians even today....because they are neighbors.

[Faw_Peter]

so what? On the contrary they should get on well together, what's the problem?

[clearman]

.... they have some problems from the past with their land. But this is the nationalists of both side deal...
Turks are also foreign investors in Romania and Bulgaria.

[Terry]

yes but they are very few, these are usually the Turks who have businesses in other countries.

[Faw_Peter]

what kind of bug businesses do the Turks hold in Romania an Bulgaria?

[Terry]

actually I haven't heard about big Turkish businessmen. But probably some Turkish companies that are engaged in textile production have branches in Romania and Bulgaria.

[Terry]

Also, there are big Turkish companies that deal with wholesale fruit trade. It's mostly during the summer/autumn time, however they have enormous profit due to the margin added to cost price.

[Steven]

Countries that produce poor quality production, once entered in EU increase their reputation and trustfulness as being a more qualitative producer, since now you can find on many goods the words "Made in Europe"

[Karl.in.eu]

I don't remember seeing anything like this. And I think it can't be possible to write "Made in Europe" That creates confusions. EU legislation must prevent this, even if such cases did or didn't occur.

[Steven]

oh really? What if the product is made in several countries, I mean just because physically it can't be produced in only one country. For example one part can be assembled only in Germany, another one in Spain etc.

Would you be so kind to supply us with a photo then?
Because from a juridical point of view it should state the residence country of the company. The others are just its contractors.

[Steven]

this is what I found at the moment:

the signature "Made in Europe" makes you feel more pleasant than "Made in China"

)))))))))))))))))))) Finaly a positive funny comment for today:))))))))))))

[Benn]

thanks Lor

[Karl.in.eu]

Interesting if the EU laws alow this..

[M.Helen]

why shouldn't it? EU is a community, it should act as a whole. But, I would also feel more certain if I read this law.

[Hakan G]

By allowing such generalizations, it creates more uncertainty of the producer of the goods. And in the end the one who will suffer is the regular consumer.
