State gets only one third of road tax potential, plans electronic control system
Romania has 16,000 km of national roads, most of which are outdated and should have already been repaired, out of a total of 100,000 km of roads. EUR 200 billion would be needed to repair the entire road network.
The Transport Ministry plans to introduce an electronic monitoring system to check the road tax payment. The current system consists in a sticky 'rovinieta' placed on a car's windshield. The electronic monitoring system project should be implemented starting August 1st this year. The public bid for the electronic system was won by the consortium Novensys – UTI, which was the third ranking offer, price wise. The first place, the consortium made of Romstrade - Vector - Intel said they will challenge the result in court.
