As many as 36 million jobs have been created at the EU level due to the trade relations with states outside the community area, as Romania's exports to such third countries led to the creation of 1.1 million jobs, Mihai Daraban, the head of the Romanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIR) stated on Tuesday.
According to the CCIR head, currently, Romania relies 75 per cent on the intra-community trade, but the fact that, in the next 10-15 years, 90 per cent of the world growth will take place outside the European Union makes it necessary for the decision making factors and entrepreneurs capitalize on the market liberalization.
According to the data presented by the CCIR head, two years after the coming into force of the comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement CETA, signed between the European Union and Canada, the trade exchanges between Romania and Canada are growing.
The CCIR head also mentioned, shortly after the signing of the EU-Japan Economic Partnership, that Romania's Chamber of Commerce and Industry, together with the Japanese Embassy in Romania got actively involved in the promotion of this agreement in the business environment.
