The theme for the Mobility Package I is very important for Bulgaria and the measures envisaged should not limit the development of the sector. This was announced by the Minister of Transport, Information Technology and Communications Rossen Jeliazkov during a working meeting with the Ambassador of Romania in our country H.E. Ion Galea.

Ion Galla presented Romania's priorities for the rotating presidency. As main topics, Ambassador Spells outlined the continuation of the negotiations on European legislation from the Mobility Package I and the balanced development of the files in land and sea transport. In the field of rail transport, Romania will continue its work on the regulation on passenger rights. A key priority in maritime transport will be the development of the Maritime Single Window.
Minister Jeliazkov expressed confidence that in Romania, our country could have a good partner in discussing the legislative changes under the Mobility Package I during the Romanian Presidency. Minister Jeliazkov reaffirmed his support for finding a common approach that would satisfy the Bulgarian position within the current mandate of Austria as President of the EU Council.

The transport minister has shared his conviction that Romania will continue to work on the key priorities of the EU agenda and will work for progress in the policies of the Estonia-Bulgaria-Austria.
