Romania; issues, observations and expectations, 1 • Romania benchmarked: • In general, like all listed companies, Samsung needs: • Reliability and predictability • From a Korean corporate point of view Romania is a European province • Romania is not benchmarked against Bulgaria or Slovakia • but against all European markets. • Constanta Port competes with Hamburg, Le Havre, Rotterdam, Gdansk etc • Romania as a gateway competes with “Nederland DistributieLand” • In our business tenders we ask the same questions throughout Europe • Romania is expected to give same answers as France, UK, Germany
Romania; issues, observations and expectations, 2 • Port of Constanta: • Samsung recognises opportunities and benefits of Constanta • Flows rerouted from Port of Koper to Constanta in 2010 / 2011. • Observations and improvement points • Cost level for Handling and Inland Distribution is high • Compared to other ports of entry in EU • Not enough competition among operators • Lead times are not reliable enough • Current congestion in Koper port can be an opportunity for Constanta
Romania; issues, observations and expectations, 3 • Gateway to Europe: • High volumes from factory into Europe • Cost level per truck considerable higher than Slovakia / Hungary into EU • In-balance in outbound and inbound freight • Always empty leg to factories for all carriers • No local carriers (yet) in Samsung’s portfolio • Improvements to infrastructure to reduce lead time • VAT • Korea officially requested to Romania to make VAT deferment possible • Huge impact on financial supply chain when using Romania as EU gateway • (importing raw materials and finished goods)
Romania; issues, observations and expectations, 4 • Customs: • From controlling to cooperation • AEO-like methods of working (comparable to Netherlands) • Avoid bottlenecks per clearance • Lean supply chains are disrupted by unexpected delays.
