    THE “RENAULT” BUSINESS AND THE VISIT OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN TRADE FROM FRANCE, CHARLES DE CHAMBRUN (1966) Antoaneta Laura SAVA Abstract: Because the representatives of the “Renault” and “Volkswagen” companies did not show any interest, in the period 1973–1976, for a collaboration in the direction expected by the authorities from Bucharest, Nicolae Ceauşescu agreed on the prime minister Manea Mănescu signing a contract and several industrial and financial collaboration agreements, with the purpose of producing, at Craiova, under French licence, the models “Citroën Visa Spécial” and “Citroën Visa Club” (called in Romania, “Oltcit Special” and “Oltcit Club”). Meanwhile, the collaboration of Romania with “Renault” National Administration continued according to the intentions expressed by the prime minister Raymond Barre and Manea Mănescu in Paris (the 17th of December 1976), and the Romanian-French agreement concluded in the summer of 1978 (Bucharest, the 12th of June 1978), having the purpose to certify the continuation of “Dacia 1300” production, along with certain subsets, electric engines, dashboard instruments and components for the machines used in the car industry from Romania. Keywords: fields, authority, car manufacturing industry, Renault company, development. In the last decade, were written, both in Romania and abroad, several studies and analyses that refer to the success registered by “Renault” French company, on addressing “Dacia Logan”, “Dacia MCV”, “Dacia Sandero” and “Dacia Duster” car makes. First produced at the Colibaşi plant, they had, since the beginning, a low selling price, as compared to other makes of renowned companies. Due to a special interest manifested for understanding the manner in which “Dacia” products reached the commercial success during the period 2004–2014, we are to present, further on, the beginning of the cooperation between the authorities from Romania and the “Renault” company.

  • August Von Spiess - Under the Sign of the Destiny
    Muzeul Olteniei Craiova. Oltenia. Studii şi comunicări. Ştiinţele Naturii. Tom. 34, No. 2/2018 ISSN 1454-6914 AUGUST VON SPIESS - UNDER THE SIGN OF THE DESTINY ANTONIE Iuliana Abstract. August von Spiess was born on the 6th of August 1864. He spent his childhood on his mother’s estate in the Fiume region, Poland. The mother inspired him with the first feelings of love for nature. He attended junior school in several garrisons, following, as all his family, his father’s displacements as an active military officer. Irrespective of the place, the child August preferred to wander in nature, instead of acquiring school knowledge. At the age of eleven he was enrolled in the Military School in Saint Poelten. After leaving the school, he graduated the Theresianum Military Academy in Vienna and was given the rank of second lieutenant. A schoolmate described Transylvania to him as a dream world in terms of relief and abundance of fauna. From this moment on, he did his best to come to Transylvania. He succeeded in being appointed to a regiment in Orastie and then in Sibiu. Here he made it a duty to improve himself in the art of hunting. After the First World War, under favourable circumstances, he was named by the Romanian king Ferdinand I, on the first of July 1921, in the position of manager of the royal hunting. In this position he developed a fruitful activity to organize royal hunting parties, to protect the fauna and also to build roads, huts, shelters and refuges. He proved his literary talent by writing articles inspired by the world of cynegetics and also writing specialized works, which are authentic monographs of the most known hunting fields.

  • Comparative Review of Hunting Tourism in the Czech Republic and Hungary
    Researches Reviews of the Department of Geography, Tourism and Hotel Management 42/2013. Review article UDC 338.48:639(437+439) COMPARATIVE REVIEW OF HUNTING TOURISM IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC AND HUNGARY Zoran RistićI, Sajko GabrielaII, Karolina SimatIII, Milosava MatejevićI Received: 22.09.2013. | Accepted: 30.11.2013. Abstract: Hunting tourism is one of the most important tourism product in Hungary and the CzechRepublic. Hunting in the CzechRepublic and Hungary has very long tradi- tion dating from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Today, hunting is based on the sustaina- ble use of wildlife. Diverse natural and environmental resources in the area of these coun- tries made hunting areas very interesting for hunting tourists from all over the world. The aim of this paper is to show and compare the basic indicators of hunting tourism in these countries, based on the collected data. Descriptive statistics and comparative analysis method were used for analysis of result. Hunting in the Czech Republic and Hungary is the most organised in whole Europe, but, as many other developed countries, Czech Republic and Hungary are faced with the problem of reduced number of certain game species. Key words: hunting tourism, Czech Republic, Hungary INTRODUCTION More and more authors consider hunting tourism as an element of active, eco, na- ture or green tourism (Higginbottom, 2004). All classifications are based on the same idea: hunting tourism is a form of tourism related to nature, which is the main mo- tivation for observation and / or hunting of game. Hunting is an independent mar- ket product(SzaboиLengyel, 2012).According to the 2005th, which was conducted by the Federation of Associations for Hunting and Conservation of the European Union - FACE, the European Union and its 25 Member States counted about 6.4 million hunters (FACE, 2005).

  • CAPRA SLAM EUROPA Hunting Season: October + November
    ESCORTED CAPRA SLAM EUROPA Hunting season: October + November Main hunting countries: Austria – Alpine chamois: The Alpine mountains of Austria, Switzerland, South-Germany, Italy, Slovenia and France are the habitat of the Alpine Chamois. And the highest number of chamois not only in Austria but in all Europe lives on the „Hochschwab“, where I will hunt with my Grand Slam guests at an altitude between 3600 – 6600 ft. A second hunting area possible to hunt is north of the “Hochschwab” just in neighbourhood. Hunting in Austria requires physical fitness. Romania - Carpathian chamois: The habitat of the Carpathian Chamois is limited to the Romanian Alps only. They grow the top quality chamois trophies of 120 CIC points and even more in the world. The world record trophies were harvested in Romania. The hunting is only done on foot and hunting at an altitude of 4500 – 10000 ft. The hunter has to have a very good physical condition. Croatia – Balkan chamois: The habitat of Balkan Chamois is the countries of Serbia, Bulgaria, Macedonia and Croatia. For your Grand Slam I will go for them in Croatia in the mountains along the Adriatic coast around Split with always having a breath taking view of the sea. The hunting area does not require special fitness, only the ability to walk over longer distances. We will hunt at an altitude between 1500 – 3900 ft.

  • Chapter 3. Brown Bear Management Patterns in Five European Countries and Their Implications for a Bear Management Plan in Austria
    Chapter 3. Brown bear management patterns in five European countries and their implications for a bear management plan in Austria. INTRODUCTION Brown bear management in Europe includes a broad spectrum of goals, ranging from no protection, to regulated hunting, to total protection. In each country, different organizations are involved in bear management, including private and governmental organizations. The first part of this study is an assessment of the organizational structure of different bear management programs in Europe. For each country, including Slovenia, Romania, Italy, Norway, Sweden, and Austria, I identified organizations involved in bear management, determined if a management plan exists, if and how hunting and damage compensation is structured, examined how the countries deal with problem bears, and finally, identified what kind of management problems each country encounters. In the second part of the study I tried to illustrate patterns of bear management in Europe, including advantages, disadvantages, and effectiveness of each approach within the various countries. The results of this assessment will be used to recommend a bear management strategy for Austria and provide a reference on bear management strategies in Europe. METHODS I interviewed wildlife managers, hunters, government officials and farmers in Slovenia, Romania, Italy, Norway, Sweden, and Austria. Several people involved in bear management in their countries were interviewed. Following the ‘snow - ball method’ (Babbie 1992), initial contacts were made by Dr. Wolfgang Schröder of the Munich Wildlife Society (for a list of initial contacts see Appendix 1). Interviews with initial contacts resulted in identification of additional people to be interviewed. The initial contacts also helped to establish contact with other interviewees.

  • Romania 2018
    Romania 2018 Hunting in Romania has a high potential for passionate hunters as it offers only wild game, in a gen- Romania uine, almost untouched landscape, while offering excellent to VIP accommodation condi- tions and services based on an excellent infrastructure. The quality of the trophies goes from good to outstanding. Our Partner ASOCIATIA VANATORILOR SI PESCARILOR SPORTIVI BRADUL and partner grant access to about 250 000 ha of hunting ground, accessible to all our guest hunters in fields located from the Carpathian mountains to the Danube Delta in all types of biotopes: mountains, hills, plain, lakes and swamps, along the Danube and Dan- ube Delta. The landscapes are magnificent and huge areas are as if deprived of human presence. In many mountain areas you can walk days and see only very few people…. The game is always 100% wild animals, thus adding more emotions and some new di- mension to your hunting experience. Weather conditions go from a normal 22 to 30C, to a sometimes very hot 38-40C in the summer, to an average of +5 to -10 with sometimes down to 25-28C in the mountains and some “cold spots” areas. The hunter must be equipped according to the field and conditions at the place and moment of the hunting action. Autumn is often a kind of “Indian summer”, with mild temperatures, mostly dry and pleas- ant. Hunting in Romania is not only a hunting experience, it is also a human and cultural expe- rience that opens a new window on Europe, it’s an adventure in the wilderness in safety and excellent conditions.
