This is expected to increase the operability of both the MA and the applicants, which
will lead to a more efficient absorption process. The total number of contracts
concluded with beneficiaries, 31.01.2010, 2263 is compared with the existing 2224
31.12.2009. In this case, it appears relatively insignificant progress, considering that
their number increased by approximately 0.18%. This is mainly due to the fact that the
applicants have submitted projects to an extent far greater than in January for the year
2010 than they did in December of 2009. Also the total value of projects already
contracted various developments recorded separately on each operational program. For
example, the highest values were recorded for projects submitted by the ROP, SOP,
SOP, SOP and SOP, with amounts ranging from 2.994.999.517 6.401.741.904 lei and
lei, and for the other OPs total value of contracted projects was much lower, if the OP
were contracted projects amounting to 182,543,080 lei and the OP Technical
Assistance, the contracts amounted to 144,880,156 lei, significantly reduced amounts
compared with other OPs. Data presented are for the year at Jan. 2010.
Analysing and the payments made to beneficiaries, we also notice that there are
discrepancies, quite significant in this case, between the operational programs. The total
payments made to 31.01.2010 were between 3,017,437 and 904,846,991 lei,
accumulating a total of 2,666,266,850 lei, which covers all operational programs. The
highest amount paid to beneficiaries was settled by the ROP, followed by SOP and
SOP, the reduced amounts paid were recorded for OP Technical Assistance. As
amended and updated regulations, which were mentioned above, in the hopes that the
process concerns payments made to beneficiaries, to produce an improved and more
efficient to ensure the implementation of as many successful projects. Romania has
absorbed from December 2008 until mid-March 2009 structural funds worth about 400
million, the amount absorbed far as amounting to approximately 1.5 billion, about 10%
of structural funds, according to A report published by the Authority for the
coordination of structural instruments in January for the year 2010. In this case, given
the very low percentage of registered fund-raising to date in order to improve the
process of absorption of structural funds, the state took a series of measures such as prefinancing
increased from 15% to 20% and settlement VAT for each invoice submitted
by the companies.
5. Conclusions
In conclusion, we can say that based on analysis completed, the absorption of
structural funds allocations to achieve in a limited extent and with some gaps in terms
of legislation, as well as ensuring their effective management. But at the same time,
there is a positive development resulting from the increasing number of projects have
already started to be implemented and those that have been approved for the year
comparing January 2010 to December 2009 for the year. Prospects in this regard are
some favorable because it is trying to increase as greater absorption, especially in the
context of global economic crisis that has sharply reduced the opportunities for easy
access to various financing arrangements.
