The Economic Council coordinated by the Prime Minister will have a working group for attracting investment. The decision was taken in the second meeting of the Economic Council that was chaired by Prime Minister Pavel Filip, IPN reports.

Pavel Filip spoke about the new composition of the Economic Council and how this body works after it was reformed. It now has 59 members who are representatives of business associations, central public authorities, academic community and the community of donors as well as ministers.

Two working groups were constituted to improve the work of the Council, at the suggestion of its members. These were entitled “Elimination of constraints on entrepreneurial activity” and “Facilitation of transfrontier trade”. Following discussions between the Premier and representatives of the business community, it was decided to create one more working group that will deal with investment attraction.

Pavel Filip said the team of the Economic Council’s Secretariat, which works with the financial support of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, was expanded and now includes two more experts. A contest was recently launched to fill the post of the Secretariat’s head so that the team could be soon confirmed.
