Anca Boagiu, Transport and Infrastructure Minister, admits thatthe results of the ministry whose reins she took earlier inSeptember have been disastrous, and announced the removal of DorinaTiron from her position as general manager of the NationalMotorways and Roads Company (CNADNR).
"The accountability for these disastrous results for Romania has tobe management-related, as well, not only political, because theyhurt the absorption of EU infrastructure funds, both pre-accessionones, and funds for the Sectoral Operational Programme - Transport.Mrs. Tiron's explanations have not been conclusive and I am notwilling to tolerate this display of managerial inefficiency," saidAnca Boagiu, who ordered an inspection at the CNADNR, which foundthat the company's management had been poor both at administrativelevel, and in relation to construction companies and consultancies.One explanation could also lie with the fact that the person incharge of motorways, Adrian Ionescu, is trained in agriculturalscience.
Boagiu also specified the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure(MTI) needs to be the leading actor when it comes to the absorptionof EU funds, which are vital for the relaunch of the Romanianeconomy. So far, MTI has absorbed only 1.8% of the 2 billion eurosallocated by the EU for 2007-2010.
Contacted by ZF, former Transport Minister Radu Berceanu said hedid not wish to comment on the results of the Transport Ministryand on the statement of the current minister.
