Tudose met on Friday, at the Romanian government headquarters, with a Ford delegation run by vice-president Andrew McCall.
According to a press statement sent to MEDIAFAX, McCall talked about the implementation phase of Ford investment in Craiova, and also about the creation of some 1,700 new jobs which have already been announced by the company.
Tudose emphasized the importance of the automotive industry for the Romanian economy, both in terms of its share in the GDP growth and from a social perspective, by creating new jobs both directly and through economic leverage.
‘Romania is a favourable environment to boost investments and the development of Ford factory in Craiova confirms it. More investments translate into more jobs that pay more money,” said Tudose.
