PM Ciolacu says budgetary reform and territorial regionalization must be done in Romania

Politics 26 April 2024 10:25

Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu declared on Thursday, in Timisoara, that the territorial regionalization and the budget reform must be done after an analysis and an exact study in each county, CE Report quotes Agerpres

"Budgetary reform and territorial regionalization will have to be done in Romania. We need a very clear analysis and we need to come up with a plan. We have the public administration system, the INA system, the French system. They have regional governors, who intervene so that there are no more gaps between the development regions, which happened between Timisoara and Bacau, for example. Or between Cluj and the south of the country. I don't know if it is still relevant. When the Poles made it, instead of having 10,000 projects on European funds, you had two integrated projects and normally they had an absorption of European funds of 110%. Romania had 54%", Marcel Ciolacu told a press conference.
