VISIT

There are currently no risks to food safety in Europe. What we do have is inflation, said EU Commissioner for Economy, Paolo Gentiloni, at the end of his meeting in Bucharest with Finance Minister Adrian Câciu. According to the EU official, the war in Ukraine will impact the estimated economic growth. Talks between Gentiloni and Câciu also tackled economic measures that need to be taken in response to the shocks reported in the supply chain. At the same time, the two officials also discussed the fallout of the war in Ukraine and response measures required to deal with the wave of refugees. Paolo Gentiloni is paying a visit to Bucharest on Monday and Tuesday and is expected to meet with president Klaus Iohannis, Prime Minister Nicolae Ciucă and other Romanian officials. The agenda of the visit focuses on economic prospects and on the situation in Romania one month after the start of the war in neighboring Ukraine.
