The contract for the construction of the Comarnic-Brasov highway(55 kilometres), worth 1.9 billion euros, including VAT, implodedtoday after the Vinci-Aktor consortium requested the termination ofthe first public-private infrastructure contract on the localmarket. The most heavily promoted project of the Transport Ministryhas therefore turned into a failure, after a tender that took twoyears to complete.

Vinci-Aktor and the representatives of Compania Nationala deAutostrazi si Drumuri Nationale (National Company of Highways andNational Roads - CNADNR) failed to reach an agreement on thefinancing of the project and on the deadline for completing andstarting the construction works.

"The representatives of Vinci-Aktor made a list of the changesthey would have liked included in the contract for the constructionof the Comarnic-Brasov highway, which would have actually changedthe initial contract both in terms of completion deadline and interms of money allocated for the project. Preparation of theconstruction site would have started in 2012 instead of 2011,"CNADNR sources told ZF. Transport Minister Radu Berceanu announcedhe would hold a news conference on Monday, 19th of April, toexplain the termination of the contract.
