Sad Easter Time This year, during the Easter Holidays, which in Romania are full of tradition and ceremony, we have reasons of sadness. Sadness and mercy for all the tragedies that other nations experienced – earthquakes, tsunamis, wars…

We cannot speak about Easter without mentioning the Holy Day that precedes it. On this day, we celebrate the revival of nature. The faithful will go to church on Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter, to bless small willow branches, which they will later put by their windows, and on doors or gates, will also think at all the world’s tragedies in the last couple of months. In some areas of the country, villagers will put these branches around their waist, in the belief or hope that this will protect them from disease and make them stronger. The need of protection increases for all the people of the world these days.

Japan - Vernal Equinox Day, transformed by law in 1948 from an ancestor worship festival to a day for celebration of nature.

Many visited family tombs to honor their ancestors, and thousands mourned those lost in the March 11 earthquake and tsunami disaster. How could they properly celebrate, with 21,000 dead and missing friends? More than 8,450 people were confirmed dead and nearly 13,000 were reported missing in the aftermath of the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and resulting tsunami, according to the Japanese officials. Yet, local municipalities say an even greater number remain unaccounted for! Some 14,630 buildings were destroyed, while 126,723 buildings are damaged, and at least 350,332 people have been evacuated and are staying at shelters… But the Japanese Nation is strong, and they will carry on and recover.

For all of you who celebrate the Easter Holidays, I wish you Happy Easter! But this period of the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere should be celebrated by everybody.

On March 21, there was a public holiday across

Other news noted that following the catastrophic tsunami that struck Japan, 33 Caribbean countries held the region’s first tsunami alert test, on March 23. This region’s first full-scale tsunami warning exercise was called

This exercise did not involve communities but rather tested the performance of weather forecast offices, national coast guards and other responders.

The scenario developed by organizers of the exercise called for countries in the Caribbean to receive an alert concerning a fictitious earthquake of 7.6 magnitude off the coast of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Over the last 500 years, at least 75 tsunamis have been recorded in the Caribbean, about 10 percent of the total number of oceanic tsunamis in the world during that period. Caribbean tsunamis have killed more than 3,500 people in the region since the mid-19th century. Simulated tsunami alert exercises have been organized previously in the Pacific in 2008 and in the Indian Ocean in 2009.

People are preparing themselves to be ready to do battle with a furious nature. But was the nature always furious?

Programul de anul acesta este “f`cut s` bântuie cele mai pl`cute vise [i cele mai dark co[maruri, oscilând schizoid între beat-uri optimiste [i performance horror difuze”, anun]` organizatorii.

“Zombie Zombie” revin la Bucure[ti cu un nou show inspirat de John Carpenter, la fel [i Jimmy Edgar, cu ultimul s`u album, “XXX”. Membrii

trio-ului austriac “Elektro Guzzi” sunt chema] i s` fac` ce [tiu ei mai bine: techno instrumental în formula clasic` rock, cu bass, chitar` [i tobe.

“Isolée” vine din nou în lumina reflectoarelor ca urmare a lans`rii unui nou album la labelul lui DJ Koze, Pampa, în timp ce “The Mole” si “Jozif” vor asigura por]ia de beat-uri calde de dans. Produc`torul român cu nume de poveste, Petre Inspirescu, va avea [i el o apari]ie special` la edi]ia de anul acesta.

Seria de performance din a treia zi a festivalului include setul horror cult al duo-ului din Manchester, “Demdike Stare”, ca [i experimentele “noise amorfe” ale aclamatului artist newyorkez Daniel Lopatin aka Oneohtrix Point Never.

Festivalul e programat sa se îcheie cu presta]ia teatral` a lui Max Tundra. Edi]ia actual` a Rokolectiv aduce pe scen` [i nume mai pu]in cunoscute: artistul spaniol Hyperpotamus, care va performa acapella la patru microfoane [i o pedal` de loop.

La relaxare în O Orhideea Health & Spa, deschis în martie, este cel mai mare centru SPA din Bucure[ti. Situat în complexul reziden]ial Orhideea Gardens, centrul ofer` o palet` larg` de terapii anti-stress, relaxare, detoxifiere, energizare, revenire în form`, o salin` de suprafa]`, o zon` „foc [i ghea]`” cu hamam [i saune, o piscin` [i o complex` zon` de fitness.

Tratamente faciale, masaje cu pietre calde [i uleiuri esen]iale, ritualuri cu caviar, vin [i struguri, terapii pe baz` de ap`, exfolieri cu sare marin` în du[ul Vichy, împachet`ri cu trandafiri sau lavand`.

Toate sunt func]ionale la Orhideea Health & Spa. Unul dintre conceptele originale ale spa-ului este un tratament Signature - ritualul hammam-ului (o exfoliere profund` a pielii, facut` în hamam, cu produse speciale: s`pun negru cu eucalipt [i m`nu[` de kessa).

Lor li se adaug` func]ionalit`]ile tradi]ionale ale zonei ,,Ice & Fire”: saun` uscat`, saun` cu infraro[u, fântân` de ghea]`, du[ul sco]ian, du[ul emo]ional, baia Kneipp, fotoliile termale, cada cu bule, precum [i piscina. Loca]ia de]ine [i o sal` de fitness foarte complex`, o sal` de aerobic [i una de spinning, dar [i o sal` de kinetoterapie.

“Orhideea Health & Spa înseamn` 3.000 mp dedica]i s`n`t`]ii corpului [i binelui interior.

V` invit`m s` l`sa]i în spate tumultul ora[ului [i s` p`[i]i în universul Orhideea Spa”, ne spunea la deschidere Liliana Paraipan, Director General Eden Spa, operator Orhideea Spa. Spa-ul se adreseaz` unui target larg: familii, prin

BUCHAREST night LIFE

n Orhideea Health & Spa programul de abonamente [i terapii în cuplu, dar [i copiilor în mod special prin programul ”trenule] ul cu sare” din salin`, prin cursurile de înot [i alte programe de mi[care dedicate acestora. De asemenea, companiile sunt una din ]intele centrului, oferinduse programe de management al stresului pentru corporate sunt o prioritate, de aceea am creat un tip de abonament „Share” care vizeaz` aceast` categorie.

Orhideea Health & Spa promoveaz` un stil de via]` s`n`tos, la fresh bar se servesc fresh-uri de fructe [i legume 100% naturale, precum [i fructe proaspete, în nici-un caz proteine sau al]i suplimen]i alimentari.

Salina este un alt punct forte al spa-ului de 3.000 mp. Este construit` pe baza unui proiect propriu [i conform unei tehnologii moderne. La

Orhideea Health & Spa, aerul este introdus for]at printre blocurile de sare ceea ce face ca ionizarea s` fie mult mai puternic` decât în cazul salinelor artificiale construite pe principiul umezirii aerului.

Orhideea Health & Spa înseamn` o investi] ie de 3 milioane de euro [i completeaz` facilit`] ile din complexul reziden]ial Orhideea Gardens, care includ un restaurant de 150 de locuri, un aparthotel, o gradini]` cu program prelungit, o sp`l`torie auto, un cabinet stomatologic, un salon de coafur` [i un magazin alimentar.

Orhideea Health & Spa se afl` în managementul Eden Spa, operator cu o experien]` de peste 5 ani în dezvoltarea pie]ei spa din România. Al`turi de Orhideea Health&Spa, Eden Spa de]ine operarea centrului The Spa Hilton Sibiu, Eden Spa Grand Hotel Continental [i Eden Spa Prim`verii Bucure[ti.

Tango, la Operet` Opereta a adus la ramp` “Maria de Buenos Aires”, un spectacol realizat de Mario Radacovsky (regia [i coregrafia) din Slovacia, pe muzica lui Astor Piazzolla. Piesa ÑMaria de Buenos Airesî spune “o poveste despre via]`, moarte [i rena[tere, povestea Mariei, personajul principal, care devine întruchiparea unui Buenos Aires pasional, destructiv, decadent, dar care are posibilitatea de a se salva tocmai prin asumarea [i în]elegerea destinului s`u”.

Astor Piazzolla, una dintre figurile centrale ale tangoului contemporan, este renumit pentru schimbarea pe care a adus-o tangoului tradi˛ional, prin mutarea accentului din spa˛iul de dans c`ruia \i era destinat` aceast` muzic`, spre o compozi]ie mult mai complex`.

Distribu]ia include nume precum Diana Ni]u, Anca }urca[iu, Alexandru Agarici, C`t`lin Petrescu, Andras Istvan Demeter. Particip` Ansamblul de balet [i Orchestra Teatrului Na]ional de Operet`.

Mai mult` distrac]ie cu Tuborg Petrecerile isi vor re-intra in drepturi, iar astenia de primavara poate deveni istorie fiindca gustul distractiei are acum un motiv in plus pentru a tine mai mult. Primavara aceasta, Tuborg continua seria inovatiilor si a lansat din martie, in premiera pentru piata berii, varianta de doza la 0.55 litri care o inlocuieste temporar pe cea de 0.5 litri. Cadoul oferit de Tuborg este disponibil in perioada primaverii, timp de o luna si jumatate din momentul lansarii.

Tuborg este produsa in Romania din 1997, iar romanii o apreciaza, noul ambalaj fiind potrivit pentru si mai mult` distractie si muzica buna. Tuborgsound. ro, portalul muzicii romanesti care conteaza, este cel mai recent proiect dedicat celor care iubesc muzica si a marcat debutul in on-line al uneia dintre cele mai iubite branduri de bere ale romanilor.

Implicarea Tuborg in sustinerea ritmurilor de muzica de la rock, hard rock, metal, jazz pana la soul, reggae si hip hop a adus implicarea a sute de artisti romani si de sustinatori ai acestora

Steaua Maestrului Radu Beligan În ultima duminic` a lui martie, Primarul General, Sorin Oprescu, i-a acordat Cheia orasului Maestrului Radu Beligan, cu ocazia Zilei Internationale a Teatrelor.

Evenimentul s-a desf`[urat în Pia]a Timpului, în cadrul aceleia[i ceremonii, maestrul Radu Beligan primind, în semn de recunoa[tere [i pre]uire, o stea pe Aleea Celebrit`]ilor. “(...) Ne înclin`m ast`zi în fa]a lui Radu Beligan. Cu toat` recuno[tin]a c` ne-a permis s`-i fim al`turi, dincolo de marginea scenei, [i cu toat` convingerea c` a f`cut mult mai multe pentru noi decât am putea face noi vreodat` pentru domnia sa. Radu Beligan este pentru România un miracol pe care ar trebui s`-l celebr`m zilnic. Câte astfel de personalit`]i avem privilegiul de a asculta sau privi? Câte astfel de personaje ne populeaz` realitatea?

Am putea încerca s` le enumer`m împreun`, dar efortul ar dura foarte pu]in. (...) Eugen Ionescu l-a considerat pe Radu Beligan mai bun decât Laurence Olivier.

Laurence Olivier a primit un titlu nobiliar, noi nu putem s`-i oferim lui Radu Beligan decât Cheia ora[ului Bucure[ti, Capitala României [i s`-l numim, în sufletele noastre, cavaler, împ`rat, majestate” a declarat Primarul General.

Maestrul Radu Beligan i-a mul]umit lui Sorin Oprescu [i [i-a exprimat speran]a c` Bucure[tiul va redeveni ce-a fost odinioar`. “Faptul c` Primarul Capitalei se afl` aici m` bucur` nespus. Îl admir [i vreau s` ne ajute s` facem din Bucure[tiul acesta ce-a fost pe vremuri, Micul Paris. Deja a început! (...)

Este cople[itor. Mi-am pus tot sufletul [i toat` via]a mea în slujba teatrului românesc [i, în vremuri grele, am izbutit, cu ajutorul lui Dumnezeu, s` fac teatrul românesc cunoscut în lumea întreag`. Sunt foarte emo]ionat c` sunt al`turi de cei mai mari arti[ti în via]` (pe Aleea Celebrit`]ilor au primit stele, tot anul acesta, Florin Piersic [i Victor Rebengiuc n.r.) [i sper ca acest loc s` fie plin de cât mai multe nume, pentru c` avem foarte multe talente care trebuie recunoscute. Îi rog pe politicienii care se ocup` de destinele noastre s` vin` la teatru, pentru c` nici nu [tiu ce îi a[teapt`”.

Evenimentul a fost organizat de Prim`ria Municipiului Bucure[ti prin Teatrul Metropolis [i Asocia]ia de Turism.

Din Unimpresa \n Confindustria Romania Din februarie, când la Hotelul Crowne Plaza s-a celebrarat schimbarii brand-ului, Unimpresa s-a transformat în Confindustria România.

Asocia]ia Întreprinderilor Italiene din România, membr` a Alian]ei Confedera]iilor Patronale, care numara peste 700 asociati, cu peste 130.000, a intrat oficial în sistemul Confindustria. Confindustria, care de curând a împlinit 100 de ani de activitate, reprezint` în Italia cel mai important sistem de reprezentare a societ`]ilor produc`toare de bunuri [i servicii, cu organizare industriala. Ea adun` peste 140.000 societ`] i de diferite dimensiuni, cu peste 5 milioane de angaja]i.

Pentru societ`]ile asociate Unimpresa afilierea este un rezultat excep]ional, produs al credibilit`]ii pe care asocia]ia a dobândit-o în România, dar [i în Italia.

Pre[edintele Confindustria România, Luca Serena, care ocup` [i func]ia de Vicepre[edinte al Confindustria Balcani, a prezentat salutul video transmis de Emma Marcegaglia, Pre[edintele Confindustria Italia.

Sunny Costa del Sol Awaits Tourists

Patronato Provincial de Turismo de la Costa del Sol together with Costa del Sol Contact Center and the most important tourism companies on the Costa del Sol, presented this great sunny region of Spain. Together with the region presentation, the officials came with the most important tourism statistics from the previous year and with up to date on newly inaugurated attractions.

The New Technologies used for tourism have as result the great effort made by the Tourist Board in recent years to improve the content of its web site, which has become an indispensable tool in effective tourism promotion. If you visit www.visitcostadelsol. com, you will find a broader range of information in different languages. It also offers a collection of more than four thousand high-resolution photos.

So, let’s go! After crossing a dense mountain range, known as “Los Montes”, on a softly descending slope overlooking the Mediterranean Sea emerges Malaga, a cosmopolitan and millennial city that is the capital and heart of the Costa del Sol. With more than 600,000 inhabitants and a growing economy in full development, Malaga is known by the welldeserved qualification of “Southern Europe’s Capital”.

Malaga, immortalised as the “City of Paradise” by the Nobel Prize winner Aleixandre, has become an important tourism centre, an international meeting place, and the economic capital of Andalusia.

www.bucharestlife.com

Less than two hours by road from Seville and five from Madrid, Malaga is connected with the most important cities of the world through its international airport. The arrival in Malaga late last year of the high-speed AVE train marked a milestone in the flow of travel to the Costa del Sol. The province of Malaga covers an area of 7,276 square kilometers and boasts more than 160 kilometers of coastline. Along this fantastic area, you will be able to find everything from ample sandy beaches to the most amazing leisure ports. Although few in number, stunning cliffs tincture the coasts of Malaga with an exotic air.

BUCHAREST night LIFE

The climate is a critical factor for this region.

Majestically embraced by the Montes de Malaga, both the town and the Costa del Sol enjoy mild temperatures during the winter, while the soft breeze from the sea results in near-perfect climate conditions during the summer.

TOP TOURIST ATTRACTIONS SITES The Costa del Sol is currently a large central tourist area, which acts as point of arrival and at the same time a departure gateway for visitors towards other nearby shoreline communities and the interior of Andalusia. At the same time, the coast of Malaga is clearly divided in two different regions: the eastern, where residential tourism is clearly dominant, and the western region, featuring an overwhelming hotel infrastructure. We would like to point out that the residential segment is experiencing accelerated growth.

The western Costa del Sol is practically a lineal town stretching from Malaga city to the village of Manilva bordering with the province of Cadiz. Starting from Malaga city, we observe that the type of tourism varies according to the region: Torremolinos displays a diversified hotel offer, being the most important of the

region regarding the number of beds; Benalmádena, featuring a highly developed coastline; Fuengirola, registering a preponderance of middle class and family tourism, while we find a vigorous presence of elite tourism in Mijas Costa, which takes the lead especially in the western part of Marbella. In Estepona and Manilva, most of the urbanizations follow a similar line to that of Marbella’s, medium high, although only very few reach the coast’s highest standard, which is Marbella’s world-famous “Golden Mile”.

However, in the eastern area, the process has schematically gone into the opposite direction to that of the western sector: for a long time residential tourism has seen a gradual development, yet only now –showing no reduction in the development standards we find an increase in hotel capacity together with an increment in the offer of all sorts of services.

Nevertheless, the tourist offer of the eastern Costa del Sol is still very different from the western sector. Its main attractions are extensive beaches, more open and less crowded, and the permanency of intense fishing and agricultural activities.

On the eastern Costa del Sol, tourism also varies as the distance from Malaga increases. The first tourist resort is Rincon de la Victoria with a silvery beach three kilometers long refreshed by the calmness of a scarcely profound blue sea. From here, you can drive up to Macharaviaya, a typical and very picturesque Andalusian village. The next resort is Torre del Mar, the coastal strip of Velez-Malaga, with four kilometers of sun-splashed sandy beaches. Algarrobo, a village that has preserved its Arabic layout, is not far away.

Torrox, also featuring its traditional design, is one of the villages that has registered the major progress in the area. The last stop along the Malaga coast is Nerja with its cave as the top tourist attraction and its impressive watchtower overlooking the Mediterranean known as “Europe’s Balcony”.

A near-perfect climate and amazing ample beaches are no doubt a necessary requirement, but obviously not the only ones, for the development and upkeep of an important tourist segment. The Costa del Sol provides one of the most significant hotel selections in Spain, in terms of both the number and the quality of the services rendered..

Hunt The-Wolf 2011 April is the month of the wolf. For the fifth time ATVs, Quads and Side-by-Sides gallop through the wooded hills of Transylvania, by night and in the sunshine, over plains and valleys. The toughest ATV

race in Europe excites everyone with its difficult off-road routes, with the number of prizes to be awarded, with excellent organization. Actually, the organizers (AuthenticSpirit, Primul-ATVMagazin and Foxracing) are very experienced pilots themselves!

Of course, there are several categories, suited for both extreme and moderate pilots, for ATV, Quad and Side-by-Side, because the organizers don’t want any of the competitors to be over- or under-worked. So, take notice: Hunt-The-Wolf-2011, April 20-23, in Cluj-Napoca. The long journey to this event is absolutely worth it, as the international contestants state. After all, only Hunt-The-Wolf is 100% Off Road, from the first kilometer to the last - and that over 3 and a half days long! Dare! Or are you afraid of the bad wolf?

New Italian Executive Chef at Hilton Mid March, Athenee Palace Hilton appointed Gabriele Savini as executive chef for the hotel’s outlets and banqueting services.

Born in the touristic village of Senigallia, near Ancona on the Adriatic Sea, Savini moved to the capital, Rome, at a young age, where he was raised. Savini joined a hotelier school where he specialised in kitchen management, obtaining a bachelor’s degree after five years. For ten years, Savini and his wife managed their own restaurant in the town of Senigallia, an experience that enhanced his passion for hospitality, service and wine.

In 2006, Savini decided to expand his horizons and share his knowledge of Italian cuisine, gaining new exposure. After spending two years in St. Petersburg, Russia, Savini took the opportunity to become executive chef at Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik, Croatia.

“After two years with Hilton, I now have the honor of facing new challenges and the opportunity to improve my skills in my role at Athenee Palace Hilton Bucharest,” said Savini. “I feel it is the combination of passion, skill and use of authentic products that ensures a meal is enjoyable and of good palate.”

Savini’s first project in his new role will be to reopen Roberto’s Restaurant, which is currently undergoing a complete renovation. Savini is confident he will ensure this revamped eatery will become the first choice for locals, the expat community and hotel guests, offering a new culinary experience.

Regina Maria, brand unic pentru CMU [i Euroclinic De 15 ani suntem martori la dezvoltarea celei mai efervescente pie]e din România, cea a serviciilor medicale private. Centrul Medical Unirea a crescut în ritmul dezvolt`rii ei iar acum, împreun` cu Euroclinic, s-a unit sub un singur brand, Regina Maria.

“M.S. Regina Maria nu este doar personajul care m-a atras spre România, ci un model pentru noi to]i. Cu o gândire avangardist`, M.S. Regina Maria a îmbinat ac]iunile sale cu via]a spiritual`, reu[ind sa ajute cu adev`rat poporul român, [i s` devin` un simbol de mândrie na]ional`. Aceasta schimbare în care îmbr`]i[`m numele celei care a fost cunoscut` drept “mama r`ni]ilor” a primit girul M.S. Regele Mihai [i, implicit pentru mine, binecuvântarea M.S. Regina Maria,” ne-a declarat Dr. Wargha Enayati, Director General Regina Maria.

Pentru cea mai mare re]ea privat` din România, serviciile medicale înseamn` „Servicii Medicale cu Excelen]`”, iar asta se traduce prin con[tiin]a ajutorului oferit oamenilor pentru a fi s`n`to[i, tehnologia avansat` [i c`ldura sufleteasc`. Brandul Regina Maria are o consisten]` umanist`, prin excelen]`. În cei 15 ani de activitate, CMU a evoluat în fiecare an. Dup` recenta fuziune cu Euroclinic, CMU a devenit cea mai mare re]ea privat` de s`n`tate din România, cu peste 1.000 de medici în cele 6 spitale [i peste 20 de policlinici prezente în toat` ]ara. Dup` rebranding, echipa r`mâne aceea[i, iar planurile de business vor fi orientate [i mai mult c`tre respectarea promisiunii fa]` de to]i pacien]ii: Servicii Medicale cu Excelen]`.

Astfel c`, în perioada urm`toare, Regina Maria va extinde num`rul de spitale [i policlinici în Bucure[ti [i în ]ar` [i va preg`ti solu]ii medicale specializate pentru pacien]i (persoane fizice [i companii).

Maria va purta numele de Regina Maria Spital de obstetric` [i ginecologie, CMU Kids va deveni Regina Maria Policlinica pentru copii, iar Spitalul Euroclinic se va numi Regina Maria Spitalul Euroclinic. De asemenea, Stem-Health Unirea devine integral parte din re]eaua privat` de s`n`tate sub denumirea de Banca Central` de Celule Stem Regina Maria, în timp ce re]eaua proprie de laboratoare se nume[te

“Ne men]inem misiunea de a avea în continuare cea mai puternic` re]ea medical`, investind în continuare în tehnologia medical` [i în echipa noastr` de medici”, a declarat Fady Chreih, Director Executiv Regina Maria. „Fa]` de alte entit`]i medicale, avem o latura proeminent umanist`, iar acest lucru s-a reflectat [i se va reflecta în continuare în ac]iunile pe care le întreprindem”, a ad`ugat Fady Chreih.

EUROPAfest 2011 jazz, blues, pop & classic Between May 7 – 13, EUROPAfest puts us in contact with the musical values of the entire world.

Over 300 musicians from 45 countries will invade Bucharest with live performances of jazz, blues, pop and classical under the sign of authenticity - concerts, contests, workshops, jam sessions and many others waiting to be discovered by a diverse audience.

EUROPAfest started 18 years ago as a bold initiative beyond the conventional and opening the appetite for good music and a free and relaxed way of thinking. Today considered a country brand, EUROPAfest is the only festival in Europe that brings together four genres.

Held under the High Patronage of HRH Princess Margaret and Prince Radu, since 2005, EUROPAfest provides each year a full agenda, the good music becoming the main mode of communication between artists and audience. Under the slogan “The festival offers! You choose!” the audience will oscillate between the sensuality of the blues, pop dynamics, unconventional jazz and classical virtuosity.

EUROPAfest promises a lively atmosphere, the festival days are like open doors to Western cities air. You’ll leave a concert in the festival with the feeling that you have tasted a little bit of cosmopolitan pleasures - quality and spontaneous music, a serenity expression that you will see both to the musicians and to the public.

Joy to connect to a new world just listening to a musician from another country, unusual sensations, the unknown on musical notes, all are really electrifying.

The festival is a breath of fresh air in the relatively flat context of the cultural events in Bucharest. Focusing on quality and less on commercial, jmEvents, the festival organizer, is encouraging young people to get closer to the good music, offering free admission to students and pupils, subject to availability.

EUROPAfest will take place in various locations to facilitate public access, but

Romanian Beer Market - Decline

AFTER DARK / DUP~ APUS

The unstable economic environment in 2010 resulted in a decrease of the beer market by 3.5% over the previous year, reaching a total volume of 17 million hectoliters. In the last two years the beer market declined by 16% compared to 2008, the year when the beer sales volume reached a maximum quota of 20.2 million hectoliters.

Beer consumption per capita in 2010 recorded a value of 78 liters, continuing the descending trend started in 2009 and proving the fact that the economic situation has affected consumers and their consumption habits.

The Members of “Brewers of Romania” Association – Bergenbier, Heineken Romania, Romaqua Group, United Romanian Breweries and Ursus Breweries - despite the difficult situation, have invested 51 million Euros last year.

“Beer is a national industry, the most recent statistics showing that 99% of beer consumption in Romania is covered by domestic production,” told us Jan Derck van Karnebeek, president of the “Brewers of Romania” Association.

At this point the five companies members of the “Brewers of Romania” Association reached a total volume of 15.3 million hectoliters, with 4.4% less compared to 2009, and offer a total of over 4,100 jobs in the 10 beer factories located in several cities all over the country.

Consumer’s preferences in terms of packaging were kept constant: PET holds a percentage of 49.3%, 31.7% the glass bottle, the can is 16% and 3% the beer on draught.

“Although the beer industry in 2010 faced a series of changes due to the economic recession, strongly affecting the level of investment and labor, and also the closure of some breweries, we want to maintain stability and also the recovery of this sector with a mainly local production.”, said Constantin Bratu, General Manager of the “ Brewers of Romania “ Association.

• New Members of “Brewers of Romania” Association

Starting this year, two new members have joined the “Brewers of Romania” Association, which opens the representativeness activities to manufacturers of malt and hops. Thus, Soufflet Malt Romania and Association of Hops Producers from Romania will support the efforts to promote the beer culture in Romania, to educate consumers about responsible consumption of beer and to inform about the benefits of this beverage made from natural ingredients.

These two raw material producers operate their activities in Romania in nine factories and farms and mobilize a total number of 134 employees. „Brewers of Romania” Association was established in 2004 and represents the beer producers from Romania, both locally and internationally. Since January 2008, the organization is a member of the “Brewers of Europe” Association, considered the voice of the European beer industry in front of various international institutions and organizations. Founded in 1958, in Brussels, the organization has today 27 members and represents the interests of approximately 4,000 producers of the beer industry in Europe and defends the interests of over 2.5 million people who owe their jobs to production and beer selling.
