CIPE Holds Roundtable during Global Entrepreneurship Week

As part of the  Global Entrepreneurship Week 2010, CIPE’s Regional Office in Romania and the Coalition of Women Business Associations (CAFA) have organized the roundtable “Entrepreneurship in Times of Crisis: 2009 – 2010” in Ramnicu Valcea, Romania. 

The event was attended by about 35 businesswomen (managers and entrepreneurs) who are affiliated with six CAFA members, and has received local media coverage.

CIPE Regional Office Program Director Camelia Bulat facilitated the roundtable and also delivered a presentation (“ SMEs - Obstacles and Incentives in 2009 – 2010”) based on the participants’ responses to a short questionnaire, which they had completed prior to the event.

The discussions focused on the evolution of the CAFA members in 2009 – 2010, current economic and fiscal obstacles and incentives for SME’s, as well as measures necessary in order to allow more women and young people to start new businesses. Based on these discussions, CAFA has prepared a list of legislative priorities for 2011, which it will advocate for in the Parliament and at the Government. Priorities include specific changes in the Labor Code, and the Fiscal Code. In addition, CAFA will advocate for the State’s compliance with and observance of the legislation in place.

The press release (in Romanian) was published by various online newspapers.  Click here to read the press release (in Romanian).
