Agreement creates relief for travelers and companies – Austria’s industry has always been a supporter of the European integration of Central and Eastern Europe

Vienna (OTS) – Austrian industry has always thought and acted in a European way and has been particularly committed to the European integration of East-Central Europe due to the close economic and historical ties. These states have become important markets for the Austrian economy and thus a foundation of Austrian prosperity. Against this background, the agreement with Romania and Bulgaria on “Schengen Air” is an important first step and a relief for numerous travelers and companies.

Austrian companies are among the most important investors in Romania with €11.2 billion (more than 61,000 secured local jobs) and Bulgaria with €2.8 billion (more than 21,000 local jobs). The crucial challenges of this time can only be solved at the European level and together. In order to find a holistic solution together, the efforts of everyone involved must be intensified.
