OREANDA-NEWS. August 05, 2014. During the visit of the delegation of the Ministry of economy to FEZ "Balti" the Director of Draexlmaier Peter Hilbert stated the existence of the problem, which had already come into the view of the company BMW.

He noted that in case of receiving indications on relocation of production to another country, the plant's work in Moldova will be terminated. The Vice Premier, the Minister of economy Adrian Candu ordered to conduct checks and, in particular, the legality of issuance of a permit for the activity of the winery. He also demanded as soon as possible to find a solution to neutralize pollutants, which have appeared in the soil as a result of work of the wine business. Currently the work of the winery is temporarily suspended.

As InfoMarket informed before, in the middle of July of this year the residents of FEZ "Balti" (Draexlmaier, Gebauer&Griller and Elektromanufacturing) complained about serious problems with pollution in Balti. As a result, there was created a working group which is engaged in investigation of the reasons of pollution.

The group included representatives of ministries and departments, and also representatives of the residents of FEZ "Balti": Gebauer&Griller, Draexlmaier, Elektromanufacturing and Vinaria din Vale. DRA Draexlmaier Automotive has been working in Moldova since 2007 and is responsible for issuing vehicle systems for companies BMW, Mini, Audi. The basic direction of work is exports of manufactured products in Romania, and Serbia. The company employs approximately 2.5 thousand people.
