Encutescu receives RAND Europe delegation

Sorin Encutescu, the secretary of state in the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Tourism received a RAND Europe delegation including James Black and Alexandros Kokkoris, analysts in the defence industry field.

RAND is a non-profit research institute whose mission is to contribute to improving policies and the decision making process through research and analysis. Representatives of the institute draw up, on behalf of the European Defence Agency a study called “Central and East European countries: measures to enhance balanced defence industry in Europe and to address barriers to defence cooperation across Europe.”

According to the study, RAND Europe representatives in Romania and in other European countries want to know and analyse the East European security and implications on the Industrial and Technological European Defence Base.

The main elements of talks pointed out the need to consolidate and relaunch Romania’s defence industry. This target becomes more important in the present geopolitical context and of the role Romania must play in NATO and in the European security architecture.

The need to develop its own defence industry is obvious. Romania cannot contribute to security and cannot ensure its own security without having the necessary national industry capacities. The main mechanism of carrying out this strategic objective is developing cooperation relations and industrial partnership between companies belonging to Romania’s defence industry and those of EU and NATO partner states.
