So it should not go against Europe's energy and environmental policy, but in tandem with it," said Daniela Staicu, associate professor at the Academy of Economic Studies, Faculty of Business Administration with teaching in foreign languages, coordinator of SPOS 2023 homonymous study.The European Institute in Romania organized on Wednesday an event that is part of the Dialoguri@IER series, with the theme "Consolidation of a resilient European economy on the horizon of 2040. Romania's integration into European value chains".The study was presented by Daniela Staicu and Eugenia Gusilov, founding director of Romania Energy Center - ROEC, co-author of the homonymous SPOS 2023 study.Daniela Staicu mentioned that Romania's economy is 12th at the European level, with a GDP of 286 billion euros in 2022.
