ForMin Aurescu: Labour mobility has positive economic effects on GDP of the country they work in

Labour mobility has positive economic effects on the GDP of the country they work in and contributes to the economic growth of the state in question and of the EU economy in general, Foreign Affairs Minister Bogdan Aurescu said in a joint press conference with his British counterpart Philip Hammond.

He also said that Romania pleads for settling the domestic market, including by completely guaranteeing the labour force free movement.

In context, Aurescu hailed the 'ascending trend' of the Romanian-British relations in the political area.

'From an economic stand, I want to mention that last year, until September, we registered 2,576.4 million euro commercial exchanges with a trade balance in Romania's favour worth 618.69 million euros. I have voiced my and the Romanian authorities' intention to strengthen our bilateral relations in the context of the potential of the strategic partnership. We have also tackled the economic, social, political and security challenges we are confronted with in the European Union, for which a comprehensive response through coordinated efforts on a European level is needed,' Bogdan Aurescu added.
