One of the major goals of Renault Group regarding Dacia brand is to sell 50,000 SupeRNova cars this year, Georges Douin, Renault manager for product planning and international operations, said at the Geneva Car Show.

However, the representative of the French company specified that reaching this goal largely depends on the Romanian car market evolution this year, Mediafax reports.

Douin also emphasised Renault's intention to export cars manufactured by Dacia Pitesti in order to boost the activity of the Romanian carmaker.

"We have to develop the plant so that a new model can be manufactured here in 2004. We expect to register losses in 2001 and 2002, following our efforts to revive the plant," the Renault official added.

As for the Government's recent decision to cancel the ordinance protecting minor shareholders, Douin says "the interested parties decided for the law to be reformulated.

The Government and representatives of both minor shareholders and foreign investors should draw a new draft law to be more feasible than the previous one." Foreign companies having invested in Romania have criticised the law saying that it enabled any shareholder to block the management team decisions.

Automobile Dacia SA yesterday announced a 10 million lei discount granted to the purchasers of a new Dacia car if they previously had an old car, no matter its model or kind, provided they can prove the old worn car has been dismembered.

The offer is valid between March 1-31 and encourages the owners of old, damaged or abandoned cars to get rid of them.

Any car owner who submits his car's dismembering document issued by REMAT between March 1-31 to any Dacia dealer will be granted the 10 million lei discount when purchasing a new Dacia car.

The decision also applies to the holders of REMAT dismembering document papers, even if the respective car belongs to a third party having agreed to waive the respective document's rights and who has no further claims.

The discount is granted only for Dacia cars and is applied for only one REMAT dismembering document.

More such documents are not accepted and no discount device other than stipulated is allowed when purchasing a Dacia car, reads the release.
