I can barely read Romanian, more like sound out the characters and hope the noises click, but according to this article in “Ziua de Cluj” the Nokia factory in Cluj produced their first mobile phone last night at 8 PM. No clue as to which model, but the paper cites how proud they are of this day and how this one factory will put Romania on the map like never before.

Hat Tip to Adrian!

    Well you got it right.

    Related to this and the previos story, a week ago the President of the Socialist Group in the European Parlament, Martin Schultz, asked European Union to block the opening of the Nokia factory in Cluj. Ofcourse i doubt that will happen.

    why would he do that?

  • Adrian

    Well, first of all is a political move (socialists will always try to protect the peoples – the 2300 workers that will be fired from the Nokia factory in Germany) and the second reason is (they say) that some of investitions made by Nokia are made with EU funding .. that would put EU in an strange position.
