France’s transport minister said on September 11 he would sign an agreement with Romania to help increase Ukrainian grain exports to developing countries including to the Mediterranean, Reuters informed.
According to a draft agreement of the French-Romanian deal, Paris would cooperate in developing a project aimed at increasing efficiency at the port of Galati, equipping border points in northern Romania, maximising the use of grain containers stationed in the port of Constanța as well as increasing the capacity there and in the Sulina canal.
It would also help to build a medium-term strategy on the axes of the corridor between Romania and Ukraine and provide pilings to optimise ship traffic.
France will also provide funding for the initial technical expertise and work with Bucharest to identify financing for the future.
