Gov't intends to exceed the target of 5.2 billion euros of European funds to be absorbed in 2017
Prime Minister Mihai Tudose says the Romanian Government intends to exceed the target of 5.2 billion euros of European funds to be absorbed by Romania in 2017, as all the managing authorities are "theoretically" unblocked, according to him.
"Theoretically, we have unblocked all of them, so all the management authorities have been unblocked, and now we're taking the bills, taking the papers and taking the money. I think that, apropos of outperforming the plan, we have set on 5.2 billion euros in the governing programme. I think we will do even better this year as far as the money in the country, not ghosts, the money coming into the country are concerned," Tudose told Antena 3 private broadcaster on Sunday evening.
Asked if he considers Romania bringing in Polish experts in the field, given the high degree of EU funds drawn by Poland, the prime minister said that all procedures for absorption of funds will be carried out with specialists from the country.
