Efficient administration, cutting red tape and constructive dialogue with the business environment are practices that we support and consider necessary at all levels of decision-making, say representatives of the Concordia Employers' Confederation in a letter to Ilie Bolojan, at the end of the latter's term as interim president of Romania.
"The Concordia Employers' Confederation, an organisation that represents a significant part of the Romanian business environment, thanks you for your cooperation and for your work as interim president of Romania. The period of political transition in recent months has been shaken by internal conflicts and regional geopolitical tensions. We appreciate the efforts made to ensure institutional stability and firmly maintain Romania's European orientation. The organisation of a transparent electoral process and the reaffirmation of our country's security commitments have also contributed to a climate of predictability, which is essential for the economic environment," the document says, agerpres reports.
According to the source, these principles remain fundamental for Romania's sustainable development in the coming years.
"We have followed the emphasis you have placed on the need for economic recovery, through fiscal-budgetary balance, but also effective governance. In our experience, as business people, Romania works best when it is led by leaders who understand the mechanisms of the economy and the importance of the private sector for the general welfare. Efficient administration, cutting red tape and constructive dialogue with the business environment are practices that we support and consider necessary at all levels of decision-making," say the representatives of the organization.
In the next few years, Romania will have to make important choices that will determine its economic trajectory, say employers.
"We will have to decide whether to continue along the path of professionalizing public administration and the real partnership with the private sector or return to practices that have repeatedly proven that they do not generate sustainable development. Although your term as interim President is coming to an end, we believe that the kind of leadership you have represented must continue in Romania. Our country needs competent administrators, not politicians who excel only in rhetoric. It needs leaders who understand that economic development is the foundation of any social progress and that the dialogue with the business milieu is not optional but essential. We have no doubt that your experience will continue to serve Romania's interests, regardless of your future position. Romania needs concrete results in the years to come. The Concordia Employers' Confederation will continue to support the principles of good governance, market economy and meritocracy in the Romanian public sphere. We will remain a dialogue partner for all political leaders who understand that Romania thrives when the business environment is respected and consulted," the letter reads.
The Concordia Employers' Confederation represents 20 of the most important sectors of the Romanian economy and is a nationally representative social dialogue partner.
With a contribution of 30% of GDP and more than 450,000 employees in 3,900 large and small companies, with Romanian and foreign capital, Concordia is the only entity in Romania that is a member of BusinessEurope, the International Organization of Employers (IOE) and Business at OECD (BIAC).
