Romanian Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos paid his second visit to Germany this year to present to representatives of several German IT and communications companies the advantages of making investments in Romania. One advantage is the large number of IT experts whom Romania wants to stimulate to stay at home. Dacian Ciolos said that a lot of Romanian IT experts worked abroad. Actually, the second language after English spoken in Silicon Valley in the USA is Romanian.



Ciolos said that their intention was not to export those skills, but to keep them in Romania, to create favourable conditions for them to develop. We are interested in developing the IT sector, in the public administration included and we are already working at an interconnection platform. We want both the state and the private sector to invest in improving this field, Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos went on to say.



The high quality of the seven university centers training IT specialists and the Internet speed in Romania are other advantages presented to the German business people. In Bavaria state, the Romanian Prime Minister also had a meeting with the BMW managing board. Dacian Ciolos said that in the next few weeks, a team of BMW experts would come to Romania for talks on several issues of mutual interest.



BMW works a lot in the field of research-development and the IT in developing less polluting models, electric models and we agreed that in the next few weeks we would organize the visit to Romania by a group of IT experts from the BMW car maker for talks with representatives of various Romanian companies in the field and for identifying future opportunities.



During the meeting they had, Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos and the Prime Minister of Bavaria state, Horst Seehofer, decided that the Romania-Bavaria joint Commission resume debates again. Prime Minister Ciolos gave assurances that Romania maintained its support for a united Europe, whose leaders should better represent the citizens interest in the decisions made. Bavaria is considered the engine of the German economy and the business environment there is involved both in the car industry and the IT sector, in research and development. At the moment, Germany is Romanias main economic partner and the third biggest investor in the Romanian economy.
