More Norwegian money to go in environment project in Romania

Norway plans to increase the finance to fund the projects to be developed within the Romanian-Norwegian cooperation after 2011 and hopes to start the negotiations with the Romanian authorities, Norway's Ambassador to Romania Oystein Hovdkinn said during his meeting with Romania's Environment and Forestry Minister Laszlo Borbely, on Monday March 1.

The cooperation project with Romania over 2009-2011 represents a transfer worth 100 million euros to several projects, many of them in the environment protection, throughout Romania. All the projects have advanced well and they will be completed in due time. As a result, Norway took into account the financing increase, after 2011 and we hope to start the negotiations with the Romanian official in this summer and environment projects must be also included in this financial package,' Norway's Ambassador said.

According to a release by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, the two officials were talking about the projects in progress, part in the Romanian-Norwegian cooperation, along with punctual aspects of the two projects benefiting from Norway's financing.

Minister Borbely stressed that the Romanian Environment Ministry has been implementing EcoEmerge an important environmental project aimed at the development of eco-friendly markets. The project's value amounts to 1.9 million euros and 85 percent of it is funded through the Bilateral Romanian Norwegian Cooperation Programme. The project's goal is to set up an integrated framework for the development of Romania's ecological markets, improving the relation between the eco-innovation (through sustainable production) and acquisition (sustainable consumption).

The project is made of two major compounds, taking into account that these two policies (that on the environmental technologies and that on the eco-friendly acquisitions) are production and sustainable consumption-orientated, respectively. The first compound, called the EcoTechnoNet approaches the environment friendly innovation in the private sector and the use of the environmental technologies, while the second named Green Procura (Proxy) will mainly focus on the environmental friendly innovation in the public sector, through eco-friendly acquisitions.

The project's activities are to be developed by April 2011.
