With 74% at the end 2015, Romania has the lowest absorption rate of EU funds in the European Union.
The Minister for European Funds, Aura Răducu, wants Romania to absorb 70% of the funds made available by the EU by the end of the year.
Romania is among the 8 EU states that have reported a low absorption rate of structural and cohesion funds, below 60%. The European Commission on Monday passed new regulations meant to help member countries use those funds better.
