Teodorovici said Romania cashed over EUR1.1 billion after payments were resumed on three regional programs which had been suspended in 2012. He added the Commission will decide this fall to resume payments through the economic competitiveness program, for which payments are still suspended.
According to the European Funds Ministry, by August 9, structural funds paid back to Romania for 2007-2013 totaled approximately EUR3.7 billion.
Romania may access structural and cohesion funds of EUR19.6 billion for the period 2007-2013.
