The project concerns priority improvement schemes in the water sector (water supply and wastewater infrastructure).
The objective of the project is to improve the quality and efficiency of water supply and wastewater services in six municipalities in Romania as well as to support the country’s efforts to comply with EU directives.
Romania is working on enacting environmental legislation in view of harmonising its environmental standards with EU regulations. The project will assist the Promoter to comply with the Drinking Water Directive (98/83/EC) and the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (91/217/EEC). All sub-projects include wastewater collection and treatment components and will, a priori, have beneficial environmental effects in terms of reduced pollution to the aquatic environment. All sub-projects will follow requirements of EIA Directive 97/11/EC and other environmental directives as applicable, which is a condition of ISPA grant assistance.
The Bank has alined itself to ISPA procurement rules, which also makes the EIB and co-financing more straightforward.
