operational program

The EU-funded projects contracted by Romania through the regional operational program (POR) by the beginning of this week are worth EUR4.5 billion and exceed the budget allotted to the program, of EUR4.4 billion.

The European Commission has suspended financing for Romania through axis 2 of the regional operational program (Improving regional and local transport infrastructure) and asked Romanian authorities to check every public procurement contract signed with axis 2 beneficiaries.
