projects for the Regional Operational Programme Priority Axis 2 ndash Improving local and regional transport infrastructure projects prepared within the framework of GD 8112006 ldquoFrom this month we expect the submission of several projects which are finalised and waiting for the last endorsements For the already submitted projects the financing contracts will be signed by the end of this yearrdquo declared the Minister of Development Laacuteszloacute Borbeacutely The submitted projects are

After submitting the financing application to the Intermediary Body (RDA) of the respective region the process of assessment selection and contracting must take the following steps

1 Administrative conformity checking of the financing application by the designated experts from the Intermediary Body

2 Eligibility checking of the applicant by the designated experts from the Intermediary Body 3 Technical and financial assessment based on the evaluation criteria approved by the ROP

Monitoring Committee assessment conducted by independent evaluators 4 Strategic assessment conducted by the Committee for Strategic Assessment and Correlation 5 Analysis of the execution project conformity by the designated experts from the Intermediary Body 6 Site visit to check the eligibility documents 7 Issuance of the financing decision by the Management Authority 8 Signature of the Financing contract between the financing beneficiary and the Intermediary Body

The whole process takes 60-90 days Most money coming from EU through ROP is meant for urban

development On Monday 1 October 2007 the Minister of Development Public Works and Housing Laacuteszloacute

Borbeacutely together with Adriean Videanu General Mayor of the Capital attended the event ldquoA safe city is a just cityrdquo organised on the occasion of the World Habitat Day The event was organised by the Ministry of Development Public Works and Housing within the perimeter of Lipscani and Smacircrdan streets in the historical centre of Bucharest

The event ldquoA safe city is a just cityrdquo is aimed at giving the lead to ampler debates on the theme of integrated urban development between the public and private actors interested in this area Thus at the ldquourban caferdquo discussions were held

4

between officials of the Ministry of Development Public Works and Housing and the Bucharest Mayoralty specialists in the field of architecture and urbanism and citizens

The integrated urban development projects achieved by graduates of the French-Romanian master degree programme on ldquoIntegrated urban developmentrdquo at the ldquoIon Mincurdquo University of Architecture and Urbanism Bucharest showed that there are ideas and as Minister Laacuteszloacute Borbeacutely pointed out they may be developed and implemented through the Regional Operational Programme itself ldquoIt is not by chance that through the Regional Operational Programme most of the money coming from the European Union respectively 13 billion euros are meant for urban development There are intense concerns at the level of the Ministry of Development Public Works and Housing over the sustainable development of the cities in compliance with the Sustainable Development Strategy of the European Union I understand that there already are 2 or 3 integrated urban development projects for Bucharest which will be submitted in the first phase Similarly for Axis 2 the axis for infrastructure the first two projects have already been submitted so the Regional Operational Programme set out on its wayrdquo said Minister Laacuteszloacute Borbeacutely

Funding breakdown by region The allocation of funds per Development Region was done so that it would aid the fulfilment of the

Regional Operational Programme objective to support a well-balanced development of all Romanian regions In this respect the less developed regions and areas received larger funds to prevent the growth of the economical and social disparities already existent between regions

This differentiated allocation of the funds per region was achieved according to their development level inversely proportional to the development level of the Regions To measure the regionsrsquo development level the Gross Domestic Product per capita was considered adjusted with a population density coefficient

The financial allocations to the regions are between a minimum of 886 for the Bucharest-Ilfov Region Romanias most developed region and 1632 for the North-East Region evaluated as being the poorest region of the European Union

Allocated funds Region (milleuros)

Nord-Est 72409 1632 Sud-Est 58788 1325 Sud 63136 1423 Sud-Vest 62160 1401 Vest 45877 1034 Nord-Vest 53641 1209 Centru 48362 1090 Bucuresti-Ilfov 39310 886

Total 443683 10000

These financial allocations are orientative in the sense that during the Programme implementation the Regio Monitoring Committee may approve fund re-allocation following intermediary assessments that may point out a weak capacity of the regions to absorb the allocated sums in the case of certain axes andor intervention areas Financial allocation per development region

bull to facilitate the sharing of experience between the over 300 participants from Europe and also from other state of the world official representatives of governments local and regional authorities public and private organisations non-governmental bodies which carry out activities in the area of landscape and sustainable territorial development the participants examined both model practice and

failures in European landscape protection management and planning the legislative and institutional framework related to the landscape policy

bull to analyse the various experiences that can facilitate the implementation of the provisions of the European Landscape Convention with regard to ldquoLandscape and rural heritagerdquo and the role Romania has in keeping and preserving the rural cultural heritage in the context of the real estate

economic development At the meeting the representatives of the

Ministry of Development Public Works and Housing proposed the conclusion of an agreement with the Ministry of Culture and Cults and the Ministry of Environment with the aim of identifying rural cultural heritage classifying and describing its component elements the way in which they interact and contribute to zonal and national development in a European context

The specialists present at the meeting pointed out the fact that the real estate investments that disregard the specific criteria related to environment architecture and culture of the area they want to develop would suffer later through a drop of the investment value and by compromising sustainable development

The joint conclusion resulted from the debates in Sibiu was that any economical intervention must take into account the further repercussions on landscape and rural heritage

The launching of this project on 2 July 2007 in Bucharest was attended by Minister Laacuteszloacute Borbeacutely Mr Donato Chiarini Head of the European Commission Representation in Romania Mr Adrian Ciorna National Director of ldquoHabitat for Humanity Romaniardquo and Mr Mihai Frunza Mayor of Rădăuţi municipality

The houses built in Rădăuţi are not given out but are transferred into the property of the needy families through a mortgage loan The cost of the dwellings is reimbursed in 20 years at no profit or interest The monthly payment for a dwelling is 65 euros The instalments are collected into the account of the organisation and are used to build new houses for other needy families

The Rădăuţi project will close on Friday 7 September 2007 Law regarding establishment of National Housing Agency amended The Executive approved on 7 August 2007 the Draft Ordinance for the amendment and completion

of Law no 1521998 regarding the National Agency for Housing a normative act aimed at creating the legal framework to allow for the sale of the dwellings built under the programme ldquoRental housing units for young peoplerdquo According to the previous legislation these dwellings were designated as public property and could not be sold to their tenants

18

According to the Ordinance the rental housing units for young people but who are not meant exclusively for young specialists in education or health may be sold to the owners of the rent contracts only upon their request after the expiry of the 5-year contract period without any restrictions regarding the age of the applicant httpwwwmdlplrostiri_enphps=378amplang=en successful projects ldquoConsolidation of the left bank of the Danube in Corabia harbour areardquo Phare RO 2000 programme ndash SIF Regional Infrastructure Contract No RO 010104 Eligible costs 1 267 463 euros Financing sources - budgetary sources of the Phare RO 0101 SIF Programme

The port of Corabia is over 130 years old initially being located 2 km upstream of the present harbour as a mooring area especially meant for agricultural products shipments Around the year 1784 the harbour was moved to the area where the present harbour lies which now has a mooring front at the Danube of about 1126 m and 15 mooring-operating berths

The rehabilitation of the Corabia harbour infrastructure creates the possibility to improve naval transport thus ensuring the increase and strengthening of the trade exchanges in the area and in the region Having in view the precarious technical situation of the mooring fronts and of the adjacent harbour platforms of the stone piers existing along the mooring front for the river boats belonging to the present Corabia harbour which sensibly reduce the functionality of this harbour special measures are necessary to rehabilitate them

The aim of the project is to achieve the rehabilitation works of the harbour infrastructure to re-launch harbour and trade activities in order to attract foreign investors in the area and in the region

The infrastructure to be rehabilitated under the project includes - Mooring fronts respectively the front of the degraded stone piers in berth 1 area (upstream of the harbour)

related to the embankment of the railway that attends the grain silo (300 m long) - The degraded stone piers situated downstream of the ldquoCăpitanie (harbour masterrsquos office)rdquo (berths 6-7 ndash

about 200 m long) In addition the arrangement of Corabia harbour (stopping the erosion of the left bank of the Danube river by reconstructing the dig) can ensure a sustained promotion of the local and regional tourist potential The rehabilitation works will determine the start of new projects and initiatives related to the achievement of a landing stage upstream of the harbour and of a border cross-point with a major impact on the population in the area especially by creating new jobs and by encouraging the small border traffic on one and the other side of the Danube

discover Romania The South ndash West Development Region

Demo-geographic characteristics The South-West Region with a surface of

29212 sqkm comprises 5 counties Dolj Olt Valcea Mehedinţi and Gorj and correspond mainly to the old historic region of Oltenia It is neighbouring with Bulgaria Serbia and with South Muntenia Centre and West regions

In 2004 South West Oltenia Region had a population of 2306450 (which represented 1067 of

the total population of Romania) with a density under the national average (793 inhabsqkm compared to 909 inhabsqkm)

The region relief has a relatively balanced distribution including mountains plains hills and

plateaus In the north side of Oltenia the relief has mountains and hills (the Carpathians and sub ndash Carpathians area) with predominating forests and grasslands The hydrologic network formed mainly by the Danube River Olt and Jiu rivers provides the region with the main energetic role of Romania (7157 of the total hydroelectric production)

The localities network comprise 40 towns 11

of them being municipalities and 408 communes that comprise 2066 villages The most important towns are

- Craiova (300182 inhab) - Rm Valcea (111701 inhab) - Drobeta Turnu Severin (109444 inhab) - Targu- Jiu (96318 inhab) and - Slatina (80282 inhab)

Employment and migration The employment rate registers a low value compared with the country average ndash 372 At county

level the highest employment rate is in Valcea County (402) and the lowest in Olt County (358) The labour market reflects the national trends The regional unemployment rate is of 74 higher than the national average (59)

The lack of adequate jobs also determined the massive migration of the population for unqualified work abroad Thus if during the rsquo90 people used to leave especially to Serbia after the crisis from Iugoslavia the privileged destinations became Italy and Spain

Iron Gates

Regional economy The business structure in the South West Region is made up of two operational industrial parks

located in Dolj (Craiova) and in Gorj (Sadu) counties a Greenfield industrial park at Corabia and also of 5 business incubators

The research infrastructure in the region is represented by 26 institutes and research centers out of which 13 in the agricultural and forestry field Craiova is the only medical university center from Romania does not have research institutions centers
