Romania received funding for three infrastructure projects worth almost 260 million euros under the Connecting Europe Facility, said MEP and former transport commissioner Adina Vălean in a statement. Fast Danube 2 is one of these projects, and will be earmarked over 195 million euros to improve navigation conditions on the common Romanian-Bulgarian section of the river. A further 45 million euros will fund the rehabilitation of the Valea Călugărească-Buzău railway.
According to Vălean, Romania, alongside the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine, will receive almost 14 million euros to improve the infrastructure at the Galaţi, Giurgiuleşti and Reni border crossings. The European Commission has selected 134 transport projects from 408 applications, most of which are railway and navigable water projects, the statement also reads.
