Zagreb – The Italian Northeast is an important trading partner for Croatia, and the numbers prove it. In the first half of 2014, exports from Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, amounting to almost €400 million, increased by more than a quarter (26.5%) compared to the same period of 2013 The trend allows to look with confidence to Italian investments on the other side of the Adriatic, reaping the benefits of European structural funds one year after Croatia’s entry into the European Union. “The Europe we want – said the president of Unioncamere Veneto, Fernando Zilio – is one that can offer opportunities. We don’t want technocrats or rigor for their own sake, but rather cooperation and development that benefit the 500 million inhabitants of the Old Continent. “(9Colonne)
