The Transport Ministry will launch, until the end of the year, tenders with European financing, through the Transport Regional Operational Programme, worth 3.14bn euros, Transport Minister Radu Berceanu told a press conference.
The minister added that European funds worth 41 million euros have been drawn so far effectively to the ministry and other 60 million euros would come in the coming days from the EU.
"I am sure this time next year the Transport Ministry will rank first in terms of European funds drawn effectively, and we do not have pre-financing as in the case of other programmes and the procedures last between one and one and a half years until the tenders are won. Moreover, we have only 60-70 projects that total over 6 billion euros, because they are high-value projects ", the Transport minister said.
Berceanu added that until 2015, the ministry must draw over 6.7 billion euros, and some 90 percent from these projects would be put out to tender in the coming period.AGERPRES
