„Filiera franceză” și începuturile Agenției Comerciale a Republicii Populare Române de la Frankfurt pe Main
"The French Connection" and the Beginnings of the Commercial Agency of the Romanian People's Republic in Frankfurt on Main

Summary/Abstract: Based on archive information (edited and partially unpublished), as well as oral testimonies obtained by the author from two of the former Romanian officials of the Romanian People's Republic Commercial Trade Agency (CTA - RPR), the study argues that CTA-RPR in Frankurt on Main began operating for years before the Romanian – West German intergovernmental Protocol (October 17,1963) on the establishment and operation of the Trade Agencies of each party on the basis of reciprocity in Romania and West Germany, respectively. In this context, the involvement of the „Sorice” Commercial Company - controlled by the Financial Department of the French Communist Party - is brought to attention in the establishment of the CTA - RPR in Frankfurt on Main.
