The programs are funded by the Financial Mechanism of the European Economic Area (EEA) by Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.
"The programs aim at halting the loss of biodiversity, preventing accidents and adverse effects on the environment caused by hazardous waste and chemicals and reducing the vulnerability of people and ecosystem towards climate change," said the Environment Minister Attila Korodi. "The programs will reinvigorate the whole environmental sector in Romania, whether we are talking about public authorities or NGOs."
Along with Korodi, the event was attended by Tove Bruvik Westberg, the Ambassador of Norway in Romania, Georgiana Pogonaru, Honorary Consul of the Republic of Iceland to Romania, Alin Mitrica, State Secretary in the Ministry of European Funds, Marit Kjeldby, Director of the Environment Agency in Norway, and representatives of central and local administration and NGOs. The EEA funding allocated to Romania is 306 million Euro, according to Westberg, while the absorption rate of these grants is currently around 11 percent, meaning 32 million Euro, according to Mitrica.
