On February 9, Ambassador Taubman and Foreign Minister Ungureanu
signed the protocols exchanging the instruments of ratification of
the Additional Protocol to the Bilateral
Investment Agreement (BIT). Romania's instrument of ratification
and the original signed protocols will be sent via diplomatic pouch
to EUR/NCE's Aaron Jensen. The ceremony was well attended by
journalists, with most media coverage focusing on the Ambassador's
praise for outgoing Minister Ungureanu and the need for Romania to
continue to make progress fighting corruption and reforming its
justice system. Other outlets covered the Ambassador's remarks
regarding the strength of U.S. investment and its role in
transforming Romania into a knowledge-based economy.
