RABC Launches the First American-Romanian Telemedicine System in Europe

Romania Launches the First American Telemedicine System in Europe

RABC launches The 'Make it in Romania' Initiative

RABC

About the Initiative

Make it in Romania wants to revitalize bilateral and economic relations with the United States, which will eventually reposition the investor hierarchy in Romania, where the United States will occupy, in the next 24 months, one of the first three places in the country. The 'Make it in Romania' program, under the auspices of the Romanian American Business Council, is meant to promote new investments in Romania from the United States, generating a rebirth of entrepreneurship in the country and, more importantly, to restore confidence in the economic, social and spiritual potential of the nation. Through this program, with the support of the United States, Romania will have to radically restore its agriculture, through large-scale technological developments, thus facilitating the repatriation of millions of Romanians who, today, engage in agricultural activities in Italy, Spain, Germany and other European countries. The quality of production and the harvest quantity can ensure salaries similar to those currently received by individuals within Western Europe, with the difference that they will work at home, close to their families, while supporting the local agriculture and, therefore, the national economy. The same can be said for workers, specialists, doctors and any other professionals who, today, forced by the circumstances, contribute to the strengthening of other, foreign economies, to the detriment of the economy of our own country.

"Make it in Romania" stands as a joint effort between two power nations such as United States and Romania, as a private interest development it also benefits of impressive political support from high members of the US Congress and Senate. Furthermore, a vast number of American led companies, already present through profitable production and strategic development are successfully operating their businesses within the Romanian territory, will further join our initiative.

Visa Waiver Program

Visa Waiver Initiative

We have a great opportunity to include Romania in the Visa Waiver Program in next year's Congress. It's more important than ever to speak up in order to make sure your representatives know this is important to you. Fortunately, it's quite simple and should not take more than 10 minutes of your time. Let's act together and make this decades-old dream a reality!

The Romanian American Business Council (RABC) is a not-for profit, bi-partisan organization that represents a broad range of interests of the Romanian American community on both sides of the Atlantic. The RABC along with hundreds of Romanian organizations and millions of Romanian Americans and Romanians living here and abroad have high expectations that under the current leadership of the Senate and House Judiciary Committees Congress will move these commonsense VWP reforms forward in the 113th Congress. These reforms will ultimately allow Romania to join the 37 other countries already a part of the Visa Waiver program, and strengthen the longstanding bond of friendship between United States and Romania. As the United States' faithful and steadfast NATO ally, Romania desires to do more to contribute the success, safety, and development of the United States. We hope these committees will do everything in their power to ensure that Romania's addition to the VWP comes to fruition.

The citizens of a country granted a visa waiver by the United States are permitted a 90 day visit to the United States without applying for a visa at an American Consulate. This eliminates much of the bureaucratic red tape and long hours in line. It also saves money as an applicant has to pay a fee for each time it fills out a form for a visa. Furthermore, a visa waiver signals to those who wish to visit friends or relatives or look for business opportunities that they are the citizens of a nation that is trusted, respected and considered a true US ally.   Read More »
