POSDRU payments were suspended in the summer of 2012 due to irregularities in previous project assignation and development.
“(…) the European Commission will resume the payments to Romania over the next days, for the reimbursement requests sent in December 2012, worth EUR148 million, enforcing the temporary financial corrections of 25%, as agreed with the Romanian party,” the Government said.
In 2013, European Commission auditors will perform other two checkup missions for POSDRU, in order to find temporary financial corrections of 25% enforced to the expenditures that Romania is going to ask the EC for reimbursement.
“The Romanian authorities will directly notify the beneficiaries of POSDRU projects on resuming payments, as well as regarding the calendar on 2013,” the statement also read.
