The extended list includes Romania’s largest budget debtor CNH, alongside Termoelectrica, CFR SA, CFR Calatori, CNADNR, Metrorex, CFR Marfa, Electrificare CFR, Electrocentrale Bucuresti, Posta Romana, Tarom, Oltchim, as well as six other energy and railway companies.

The National Landscaping Company, or ANIF, was taken out of the list after the company managed to narrow its debt to 1.9 million lei (EUR1=RON4.1333) in 2010, from RON65.7 million a year earlier.

Romanian government estimates the stock arrears of the 18 monitored companies will increase to RON19.5 billion at the end of March, from RON18.8 billion in December last year.

However, the stock arrears is expected to decrease to RON18 billion by end 2011, according to the memorandum.
