BLACK HAWK A maintenance centre for the
Black Hawk helicopters is about to open in Bacau, eastern Romania; the result
of a partnership between the US aerospace, arms, defence, information security
and technology corporation Lockheed Martin, and Romanian company Aerostar. The
centre is to be completely accredited and operational before the arrival of
seven S-70 Black Hawk helicopters later this year. According to the company’s
vice president Ray Piselli, the centre in Bacau will contribute to the creation
and maintenance of highly qualified jobs in Romania, will curb operational
costs for the Black Hawk helicopters and will have a strong growing potential
in the future.






RIGHTS Trade union leaders in Romania’s
medical system have announced higher salaries for the employees in this sector
starting August 1. On Wednesday, trade union leaders met the country’s
Social-Democratic Prime Minister, Marcel Ciolacu, and deputy Prime Minister
Marian Neacsu for talks over the new emergency ordinance regulating the
upcoming pay rise. Employment in the field is to be resumed and 4 thousand new
jobs will be created shortly. Another 10 thousand jobs are to be created in the
country’s medical sector in the following period. All normative acts regulating
the aforementioned rights are to be endorsed in a government sitting this week.
If their claims had not been met, employees in the medical field would have
gone on an all-out strike.






UKRAINE The
United States and Romania have taken actions in support of Ukraine and all the
vulnerable partners in the Black Sea region – Romanian president Klaus Iohannis
said on Wednesday night at the reception offered by the US embassy in Bucharest
on Independence Day. The US ambassador to Romania, Kathleen Kavalec says that
both countries are sharing ‘common values, which are the reason why we remain
united against Russia’s unprovoked and terrible attack on Ukraine.’
