Italian minister criticizes Romania over blocked medical masks shipment

Italy’s foreign affairs minister Luigi Di Maio has criticized Romania’s decision to stop a shipment of medical masks that was supposed to reach his country, Digi24.ro reported, quoting Italian TV station La7.

Answering the question of a journalist of Italian TV station La7 about a shipment of masks purchased by Italy and blocked in Romania, Di Maio spoke of “anti-commercial actions”, according to Romania-Insider.com.

“In the world, there are countries that help and countries that decided to only think of themselves. We denounce the latter. Meaning those who retain our masks. Then, in other cases, we alert the UN or the World Trade Organization that there are countries who undertake anti-commercial actions, because if they block at the customs the masks purchased by a company that belongs to us, not by the Government, but by an Italian company, this is a behavior against the rules of trade,” Di Maio said.
