FOLLOWING a very successful first visit to Romania, a second trade mission has been planned for April 2006 by the International Trade Team at Business Link West Mercia.

The International Trade Team took several West Midlands companies to Romania in October, including two Companies from Herefordshire, allpay.net and Eagle Services.

Both firms made new business contacts and forged good working relationships, with a total of 40 meetings organised between the West Midlands companies and prospective clients and partners. They also met the UKT&I commercial staff at the Embassy.

"Romania is a dynamic country waiting to join the European Union in 2007," said Paul Thompson, an international trade adviser.
