(ANSA) - MILAN - ''Romania has the potential to become the granary of Europe'', according to Italy's Deputy Minister for Agriculture and Forestry, Andrea Olivero, who spoke on the occasion of the National Day of Romania at Milan Expo 2015. The president of the Romanian Chamber of Deputies, Valeriu Zgonea, expressed the same wish. ''Italy is the second largest trading partner for Romania in the EU after Germany - Olivero continued -; the trade exchange between our countries reached 12 billion euro last year, 7% more than in 2013''. The deputy minister then recalled that the Romanians are the biggest foreign community in Italy. ''The Romanian workers are well-known for their entrepreneurial spirit and so - he underlined - they make a contribution to our country's economic recovery''. (ANSA).
