lol, so we paid a company to create maleware with tax Euros and they outsourced it to Romania?

Classic Bavaria.

Well, EU does have a lot of initiatives pushing for a 'single digital market' without borders/barriers; Romania is (has to be) treated as a domestic supplier.

Yes, you're right.

I talked with people from the east of EU and while they like the money, they aren't always treated well by the western companies.

Guess, that's why I always overreact when I see outsourcing to the east.

Or maybe regulations for development and trade of computer viruses are lower in Romania and there's less paperwork to make one without risk of another government wanting to claim the works, like it would happen in other cheaper countries, China or India.

Ah yes, the three options for software development in Germany.

Romania, China and India.

[ETHisso2017 → FeepingCreature]

Don't forget Hungary and Ukraine!

[sam_lowry_ → ETHisso2017]

Ukraine is not in EU.

[akerro → sam_lowry_]

Neither is China and India. No one mentioned EU.

Or maybe they developed it before selling it to the state?
