RUMANIA
Although the imports into the Greek free zone from Rumania
amounted to 34,877 tons in 1926 and 40,061 tons in 1927, only 30
and 34 tons, respectively, were exports from the free zone to Rumania.
 All the imports from Rumania come into Saloniki by sea
from Black Sea ports. In 1927 these imports consisted of 25,340
tons of mineral oil, 8,256 tons of wheat, 1,373 tons of other cereals,
2,853 tons of dried vegetables, and 1,703 tons of chemicals. Practically
 all of these imports were cleared through the Greek customhouse
for Greek consumption.
The exports to Rumania from the free zone in 1927 consisted of
pharmaceutical and chemical products and other manufactures.

BULGARIA

For lack of a direct railway connection between Bulgaria and
Saloniki the free zone at Saloniki does not materially benefit Bulgaria
at the present time. Of the imports into the Greek free zone in 1927—
namely, 5,220 tons—3,123 tons consisted of wheat, 527 tons of other
cereals, 324 tons of cotton, and 478 tons of sugar. All of these imports
came to Saloniki by sea from Bulgarian Black Sea ports and were
destined for consumption in Greece. The exports from the free zone
into Bulgaria consisted chiefly of manufactured goods.
