Esteban Castro Fernandez is the OLAF representative in Romania since March this year. His knowledge about Romania, however, dates back in 1995, when he studied extensively our country. "Even before coming to Romania I had been interested in issues related to the European Union, its expansion, and Romania in particular. Donât ask me why. I had no particular reason for it. Hence, at the end of my studies, I wrote a dissertation on the transition process in Romania and I furthered my study into the matter ever since.
I applied for a position with the Delegation and probably due to my studies I was accepted. I visited Romania for the first time in November 2000, one day ahead of Romaniaâs national day. I arrived on a Thursday and spend the very long week-end off by myself, taking long walks and having first degree encounters with packs of your famous stray dogs."
