According to the institution, Vreme met Thursday with Johannes Hann, EU Commissioner for Regional Policy.
The project will ensure the technical support needed by private operators to develop the local internet network. It will cover at least 90% of the 3,648 disadvantaged areas in Romania.
Hann said that, as long as the project is in line with European Union regulations, the country should meet no problems in having the project authorized by the European Commission.
The EU commissioner highlighted the project developing broadband Internet infrastructure in disadvantaged areas must observe the provisions of the Digital Agenda, which requires 100% broadband internet coverage for all EU citizens.
