The European Commission resumes transport infrastructure payments to Romania
The European Commission stopped payments in June this year because of mismanagement and failure to comply with the Commission's procurement rules. The payments were discontinued after the findings of an audit report, which revealed an incorrect application of procurement rules and deficiencies in the management and control of public procurement.
Progress in the reform of the management and control of cohesion policy funds procurement has satisfied the Commission and the green light to restart payments has been given. European Affairs Minister Leonard Orban has overseen the reform process.
