Our ancestors came to Romania from Germany to build a  life for themselves; they were given land and they managed to build a  stable life for themselves, working in agriculture and forestry. But in  1944, with the regime change and the loss of territory, they lost  everything in a dramatic turn of events that affected my own family as  well. In December 1989 there was another regime change, where I  participated in the demonstrations where I was consequently shot by one  of the soldiers and ended up with a bullet in my hand and one in my  lung. Even though I am listed as a hero of the revolution, I have never  made a claim against the army or took any of the privileges offered to  people on that list. In my eyes, the soldier who shot at me was probably  more confused with the events at that time than I was. This is to me a  part of history that we simply have to accept as it happened. In the  beginning of 1990, I was sent to a hospital in Vienna for further  treatments, which is where I decided to establish my own business, Tarus  &amp; Partner Keg., specializing in the distribution, import, export,  consulting and marketing of pharmaceutical products. One day a colleague  approached me from the pharmaceutical industry that needed help with a  presentation for a conference. At that time, Romania\u2019s per capita GDP  was the lowest in Europe, the country had no foreign debts with a large  population of 22 million, so there was a good opportunity for growth. I  spoke at this conference, and many pharmaceutical companies came to me  and enquired if I could not help them setting up their business in  Romania. I ended up working with numerous Austrian and also German  companies, supporting them in establishing a presence in Romania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FULL ARTICLE:<a href=\"http:\/\/romania.globalfdireports.com\/interview\/valentin-norbert-tarus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> http:\/\/romania.globalfdireports.com\/interview\/valentin-norbert-tarus\/<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(c) Die WeLT Established in 1991 and listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange since 1996, Farmaceutica Remedia is a major player in the healthcare sector, where it specializes in distribution, integrated sales, marketing and promotion.
