To this purpose, the Executive decided the establishment of a Commission to identify the solutions that refer to such partnerships. The Commission will comprise the Finance Ministry, the Transport Ministry, the Regional Development and Tourism Ministry, the Economy Ministry and the Justice Ministry.
Last week, Premier Emil Boc said that the Transilvania Highway project will be funded both from the state budget and from alternative sources. The Turda – Campia Turzii section is forecasted to be finalized at the end of the year and in parallel, the works for the Gilau – Suplacu de Barcau sections are being performed.
Bechtel representatives confirmed that Transilvania Highway can be opened for traffic at an acceptable term, only if “the works observe the protocol to be concluded in 2010”.
