At the same time, the European commissioner wanted to note that there is some tension related to migration in the European Union, a tension that has led to the introduction of border controls in several countries in the Schengen area in recent weeks.Another topic addressed in the interview was represented by the European Parliament elections in June next year and the stakes of this election for Romania. The European commissioner for transports opined that the things achieved so far by our country within the European Union should also be "counted", achievements that strengthen its competitive role, especially within the European internal market."Romania is practically at the moment, especially for the export of grains, sunflower seeds, agricultural products, the most important corridor for Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova, in the sense that, of course, the Republic of Moldova plays an important role in these corridors of solidarity, there are many routes that pass through the Republic," said Adina Valean.
