Members of Concordia Patrons Confederacy express their hope that the political crisis crossed by Romania should end as soon as possible. “Citizens' expectations, also shared by businessmen, are that their representatives in Romania's Parliament and Government should place on a secondary level party problems and immediate political agendas when social and economic matters with major impact on people' s lives claim unity and collaboration. Only thus we can, together, citizens, authorities and businessmen, succeed in taking advantage of the economic growth we experience to build a sustainable and productive national and European future”, wrote the Concordia members in an open letter sent to the Presidential Administration and parliamentary parties.

With a total of over 350,000 employees in over 2,000 big and small firms, with foreign and local capital, Concordia is the only organization in Romania member of BusinessEurope, the International Organization of Employers and Business at OECD.
