Orban said the memorandum will include several measures to be put in practice shortly in a move to support beneficiaries in particular. He added the measures will also target the way payments for EU-funded projects are checked.
“We want checkups to target large amounts of money, not petty sums. This will help both beneficiaries and structures managing EU funds,” said Orban, adding these measures will be detailed following debates in a government meeting.
Orban has recently called for simplified bureaucratic procedures in managing EU funding in a bid to improve Romania’s absorption rate and fight corruption in this area.
