The Commission explained that Oltchim already received such an aid and the Government hasn’t received any privatization bid.
Ponta said at Antena 3 TV station the Romanian state aims to attract financing from banks and traders for Oltchim’s functional assets.
On Friday, Oltchim’s employees received 45% of the remaining wages for February, according to trade union leader Mihai Diculoiu. He added that around 1,000 employees are expected to be laid off as of April 15.
Oltchim entered insolvency at the end of January after the state failed to privatize the company.
