Description
The German wheel manufacturer Ronal, intends to invest €10 million in building a factory in Hunedoara (Vest region, Hunedoara county).
The mayor of Hunedoara declared negotiations with Ronal are in an advanced stage. Ronal plans to obtain a concession of 15 hectares of land, one kilometre away from the industrial park in Hunedoara.
‘We will be meeting again to set the land concession terms', added the mayor of Hunedoara. The concession price will be ten eurocents per square metre per year. ‘We don’t want the price to be too steep, although approximately 12 hectares of the land is the property of the city hall, as the bulk of the money will come from taxes’, the mayor argued.
The remaining 3.5 hectares will be bought from Mittal Steel Hunedoara, which has already agreed to sell the land to the German investor. The new Ronal unit will generate about 700 de jobs.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
