Gustin, who attended a business forum organized in Bucharest, added that the new plant was part of a natural strategy of a company, that of building production units nearby its markets.
President Traian Basescu had previously told a TV station that the failing to complete Pan-European Corridor IV will trigger the losing of Pitesti-based Dacia plant, as the company already extended its plant in Morocco.
Gustin expressed his confidence that the Romanian government would find solutions to meet the needs of “a company which represents 3% of the GDP and 10% of exports”.
Prime Minister Victor Ponta, who attended the forum, gave assurance that the government is working to improve road infrastructure, adding that he had talks with Renault president, who stated that the company would continue its investment in Romania.
Gustin had previously told Mediafax that Romania should quickly develop its railway and highway infrastructure to Western Europe, as companies such as Dacia export their products to the western markets and delayed deliveries are impacting the car costs.
The French Ambassador said that Renault representatives complained about this issue, adding that a highway connecting the city of Pitesti to Hungary would be very useful.
The business forum France-Southeastern Europe gathers over 300 companies in 12 countries, plus a delegation from Morocco, which will discuss investment opportunities in Romania and in the region.
