supermarkets

Two Romanian lawmakers have submitted a bill in Parliament that would force supermarkets to have special designated areas for traditional Romanian products, in a bid to support the local economy.

Carrefour Romania, the local unit of French retailer Carrefour, Friday will open its fourth Carrefour Market supermarket in capital Bucharest, the company said in a statement.

Despite contrary statements, 85% of the products sold in Romanian supermarkets are made in Romania, president Traian Basescu said Friday.
