The reform of Romania's public procurement system will continue so that the investment can be conducted as soon as possible, on Thursday said Prime minister Viorica Dancila, after a meeting with visiting European Commissioner for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Elzbieta Bienkowska at the Government House.
At the same time, she said that she had received support from the European commissioner for simplifying the legislative framework of public procurement.
"An important topic for Romania (...) is also the acceleration of public investment, which is able to support the achievement of real convergence. In this respect, I have requested and obtained the support of the commissioner for modernising and simplifying the legislative framework for public procurement in full compliance with EU directives in the field," said Dancila.
The Prime minister also said that she presented to the European commissioner the Romanian government's priorities for the second quarter.
"I have told the Commissioner that among the government's priorities for the second quarter of this year are the public procurement law, the public-private partnership law, the establishment of the Romanian Commerce House, the establishment of the state-aid scheme for granting loans of 40,000 lei without interest rate to young people, as well as the establishment of a programme for people with disabilities, all measures that can also contribute to the development of entrepreneurship in Romania," said Dancila.
