solidarity fund

Romanian Prime Minister Emil Boc said Sunday, during a visit to a severely flood-hit village in northeastern Suceava county, that the financial aid request for the European Union’s Solidarity Fund must be submitted in no more than ten weeks from the beginning of the floods.

Romanian president Traian Basescu Wednesday morning donated his salary for May to a solidarity fund opened at the treasury of capital city Bucharest.

Romanian Prime Minister Emil Boc called on secretaries of state and state representatives in companies where the state is minority shareholder to donate all their benefits for a period of six months to a national solidarity fund.
