Prime Minister-designate Ludovic Orban on Monday stated that the European Commission decision related to CFR Marfa (National Railway Company - Freight) is to be blamed on the PSD (Social Democratic Party) Government and that all measures will be taken to save this company.
The European Commission on Monday found that the railway operator CFR Marfa received an improper state aid worth at least 570 million euros as the Romanian state canceled its debts and passed on collecting debts from this company. The Commission asked the Romanian state to recover the illegal aid plus interest from CFR Marfa, the European Commission said in a press release
The EC decision provides six months to the Romanian state to implement the recovery decision, instead of the usual four months.
