Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca on Thursday night heralded at the public broadcaster TVR 1 that a department for monitoring and evaluation of projects in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) will be set up, agerpres reports.
In his vision, the new department will also have to follow to what extent the proposed projects are complementary.
"I believe that from the level of this department, the part of monitoring the complementarity between the projects it submits can also be achieved (...) by each managing authority. That is why we insisted on having this department functioning, because this activity of achieving the inter-ministerial mechanisms is very important, and the package of mechanisms I am talking about now must be connected to the EU mechanisms,'' the Prime minister said.
Premier Nicolae Ciuca was announcing on December 14, in Brussels, that the Government is very close to making a decision on setting up a structure to manage everything that means monitoring, coordination and verification of the PNRR and was saying that he has received the guarantees from the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, that Romania will be given technical assistance from the EU for the absorption of these funds.
