The Cohesion Policy Post 2020 in Romania: Proposed Programs and Simplification Measures in the Process of Accessing EU Funding

Summary/Abstract: Romania has been a net beneficiary of the Cohesion Policy, one of the main EU policies, since joining the European Union in 2007. Nowadays, Romania is still facing problems in the use and absorption of structural and cohesion funds, generated by the complex bureaucratic procedures, that are not imposed by the European Union.Simplification measures have been discussed and agreed between the European Commission and the European Parliament, inclusively for the 2014-2020 programming period. At the national level, the simplification measures proposed, in general, can lead to the reducing of bureaucracy, to facilitating the access of the beneficiaries to the non-reimbursable funds allocated to Romania, as well as to the balanced progress of the development regions.
