03:59κατευapse και ξεκινήσει Yemen.
04:01Ρώθω, Μινιστα, ότι έχεις δίκτυσηρων από το κίνδυξενο στο δημόσιο δημόσιο για την εξεπιβουργία.
04:05Ρωθώ, Μινιστα, ότι είχε Απομακριστικό κίνδυμα για τη δουλειά και από δημόσια χρόνια και τα δημnyt gapαλή της.
04:12Πρώτομα είναι η τραγωδία για τη ρωμανία στην θέση της ευρωτίας.
04:16Καθώς η άλλη κοινούς цναι усылκών με δημόσια δημόσια και όσους συνέβη δημόσια των Ευρώ.
04:23Υπότιτλοι AUTHORWAVE, ο Ρωνος της ασπιστής.
04:26Πρώτα, πρέπει να ασχοληθεί την ανάπτυξη για το πώς πρέπει να αντιμετωπιστεί την οικονομία.
04:33Η ανάπτυξη για το πώς πρέπει να δούμε την οικονομία της οικονομίας της ασφαλής.
04:40Και αυτό είναι το πράγμα που κάνουμε.
04:43Και για να κάνουμε αυτό, πρέπει να εξωτείτε την επίσης διαδεξαλήτηση.
04:50πρέπει να κάνουμε επίσης διαδεξαλήτησης.
05:20And this is a very important project for Romania, that fiscal discipline, it comes back, measures to support the economy
05:29and to support growth in a very intelligent way, aligned with what Draghi and Leta are projecting for the entire
05:37Europe.
05:38And this is what we put in our economic recovery plan, in our economic recovery program that we recently presented.
05:47So we basically have a completely modernized menu for attracting FDI in Romania.
05:54It's a very coherent menu that Romania didn't have until now.
05:59We will have an instrument for investments over 200 million in Romania, which will be very flexible with grants, with
06:08tax credits, with different ways of, let's say, avoiding bureaucracy, ensuring that the lands are given by local administrations for
06:21bigger investors, ensuring ways in which the investor should be treated differently.
06:25You mentioned Draghi and Leta, and I'd like to take a look at the European situation, because we know now
06:32that by the summer, by June, the EU wants to introduce specific measures in order to regain its competitive edge.
06:40Some of the ideas on the table include euro bonds, so more joint borrowing at the EU level in order
06:47to fund strategic investments.
06:49Is this something Romania supports?
06:50We've done it with the next generation.
06:54We've done it again with SAFE.
06:57I think if this is aligned with our strategic priorities, and definitely it somehow responds to the investment European economy
07:08needs in certain strategic fields,
07:10like AI, for instance, or all these areas in which Europe needs investment, if these things are aligned, yes, I
07:20think it's a very good idea.
07:22And what about the other concept that's being floated mainly by the French for prioritizing made in Europe, giving a
07:29European preference in public tender contracts and so on?
07:33Is this something that you also think it's a good idea?
07:36It supports the strategic autonomy that we're discussing.
07:39I mean, this should be a European project.
07:41And this is the core of the project.
07:44I mean, imagine that ever since the European Union was created, this was the entire idea behind.
07:53That should be one powerful bloc, a pan-European bloc.
07:58But even if that would mean limiting the amount of, let's say, American products that can be bought.
08:05I know that Romania has a very strong economic relationship with the U.S., but the world order is changing
08:11swiftly.
08:12Is that going to impact, do you think, Romania's relationship with the U.S. and Europe's relationship with the U
08:17.S.?
08:18I think the more we create an investment-friendly environment in Europe, the better.
08:25Now we have 300 billion of our savings invested abroad.
08:32If we make the best that these billions invested abroad are invested in Europe, it's very good for Europe.
08:39So we don't necessarily have to look at the competitiveness.
08:44We have to look on how to better use the savings that we already have as European Union.
08:50There's also talk, however, of this two-speed Europe.
08:53So a Europe where a group of maybe powerful economies move ahead on their own and leave others behind, for
08:59example, to implement a capital markets union, which is something you've just mentioned.
09:03Do you fear that risks leaving countries like Romania left behind?
09:10Romania supports the capital markets package.
09:13Romania supports the saving and investment union.
09:17The entire discussion in ECOFIN, we say it.
09:23We said it in the council.
09:24In these six months, I always said it.
09:27I always said we need to accelerate this package.
09:31If this format is accelerating some of the files that we already have in ECOFIN, I think that's a good
09:37idea.
09:38But, of course, this is very important to, let's say, dynamize the ECOFIN a little bit on some specific topics.
09:48We will find out more about what is the, let's say, agenda criteria for what the group will do.
10:00But yet we don't know.
10:02It's just one meeting.
10:03It was just the letter announced.
10:06So it's so early to comment on what will happen.
10:08There is this E6 formation that's already been established, it seems, with these six heavyweights.
10:13Do you think it's positive whether they will pull Europe in the right direction or is it creating divisions?
10:18I think we should see what eventually will happen out of the E6.
10:24I'm in very close touch with the German minister we met today.
10:28I'm in also very close touch with the French minister on all of the files.
10:33I don't think they plan to leave anybody behind.
10:36I think they plan to solve some of the critical issues that are on the table.
10:40And if they succeed, it's a very good thing for Europe.
10:42Finally, to close, Minister, one of the big areas of opportunity in terms of investment is obviously defence spending.
10:52Romania is a country on Europe's eastern flank.
10:55It has experienced drone incursions and so on very recently.
11:00How important is this scaled up investment in the defence industry for your country?
11:06I think it's very important.
11:07We want our national defence industry, we want to support the national defence industry.
11:14That's why we created also a special scheme for this of 200 million euros.
11:18Of course, SAFE is much bigger.
11:20We negotiate.
11:21I was very much involved in the negotiation of SAFE.
11:24It happened in the Ministry of Finance and we managed to secure the second biggest allocation,
11:30and 16.2 billion.
11:32Part of SAFE is also infrastructure for dual use.
11:36There are very important pieces of highways which will be built with SAFE money in Moldova, around the Ash.
11:44Those are critical pieces of infrastructure.
11:47So SAFE is very important and I think it's a very good project for Europe.
11:51Minister, thank you so much for joining us today.
11:53Thank you for the invitation.
11:55Thank you.
11:57Thank you.
12:00Thank you.
