I left the country 26 years ago, when he received only 200 euros a month, Andrei makes a comparison between how much a worker from Romania and one from France now: “There is a development”

Andrei Silaghi has a car business in France, and on the weekend she sells small and lanks from a caravan, in Strasbourg, writes the Start-up Cafe website.

Andrei is originally from Satu Mare and has left abroad since 1999, after high school. “Then it was very difficult to get to a European country, in a developed country”-he recalled, in a short dialogue with the reporter StartupCafe.ro, in Strasbourg.

Like Satu Mare County, Strasbourg is still on the border. Andrei settled in Strasbourg where he also has a car trade company. But the garage is at Kehl, across the border, because in the small city of Germany the rents are cheaper. Strasbourg and Kehl are tied through a common tram line, if you are not careful, you do not realize that you have passed another country.

In the dialogue with Start-up Cafe, the Romanian explained the differences between the business environment in Romania and France.

“I find it much simpler than in Romania. Here, if you need an authorization, go to one place, you don't have to go in five places for five permits-from Sanepid, hygiene, etc. Go to métiers and you can do everything, we have many tax facilities. You oblige to give a tax voucher. Sold for 100 euros, you dug your pit alone, for what?

“About Romania, many do not know. As far as I have seen, compared to what was 10-20 years ago, there is a development. One that is at home may not see that development that I see in Romania. But the development is seen, it is quite beautiful, from the point of view of the infrastructure. When I left, a salary was somewhere in 200 euros. France, a plant in the factory starts with a salary of 1450 euros, but it also depends on how many hours you do, the more you work, the more you get.
