Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu announced that in April there will be launched several funding guides, in order to help those interested to draw European funds.
"In respect to the European funds, we start from a deep gap. [...] We have very much to recoup," Grindeanu said on Monday evening on Antena 3 private television broadcaster.
Asked how this situation will be unblocked, the PM replied: "The first steps have been made. The first documents for accreditations have been sent today. We must accredit those intermediary bodies, the management authorities. Moreover, very many funding guides will be launched in April, so that those who apply know the framework they are applying on. (...) I, Mrs Deputy PM Shhaideh, we are having weekly progress-tracking meetings."
At the same time, Sorin Grindeanu brought to mind the meeting he had with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) representatives.
"In respect to the IMF, I had a meeting with them last week, together with the Finance Minister. We told them our vision, the vision given by the National Prognosis Commission, by everything that we said when we built the budget, by [...] the economic growth we planned, by all macroeconomic data. [...] Our decision is to implement the governance programme. Each measure we adopted was calculated and assessed as seriously as possible, to the effects this measure has [...] in the economy. The measures weren't taken just because they are included in this governance programme," Grindeanu also said.
