Romanian Ministries Obliged To Ensure Co-Funding For EU-Funded Projs

According to the 2009 state budget draft obtained by MEDIAFAX, ministers are obligated, when they approve budget expenses, to ensure in full and with priority funds needed to co-finance programs and projects with international financing, as well as funds needed to meet commitments undertaken by Romania upon EU accession.

Moreover, the money assigned for projects financed with non-reimbursable post-accession funds cannot be redistributed to other purposes at budget revisions throughout the year and cannot be transferred to the government’s budget reserve fund.
