Minister Malcharek says Autosalon motor show improving in quality

This year's international "Autosalon" motor show has made progress towards improving its quality because the automobile industry has became a real phenomenon in Slovakia, Economy Minister Jirko Malcharek said at the show's launch at the Incheba centre in Bratislava on Tuesday. According to Malcharek the higher quality of both the cars on show and the stands as a whole mean that the exhibitors are beginning to appreciate their clients better. In addition, these shows have become more important for Slovakia, noted Malcharek. According to the economy minister, Slovaks have begun to view the car industry as something of which they can be proud. "As the Dutch can be proud of their cheese, and the Belgians their beer, Slovaks can take pride in their car production," he said.
