Minister Valerian Vreme said Thursday that a proposed location for this center is Turda, Cluj county, in the center of Transylvania. This city is 250 km from Bucharest and on a different tectonic plate.
The minister will visit other areas of the country, in a search for the backup center’s optimum location.
“There will be an open competition and an objective analysis, and we will build the center where we will have good communications, good infrastructure and low construction costs,” said Vreme.
The center will be built using European funds obtained after 2014, during the EU’s next fiscal cycle.
