Ministry of PublicFinance of Romania - Managing Authority for the Community Support Framework - Romania’s Progress in Drawing up NSRF 2007-2013 27 October 2005
Romania’s approach to NSRF 2007-2013 • NDP 2007-2013 drawn up so as to facilitate smooth and swift adaptation into the NSRF, when needed • NDP developed hand in hand with the OPs • Reasons for pragmatic approach: • Multitude of documents needed to be prepared (NDP, NSRF, OPs) • Tight deadline to finalise these documents (December 2005, according to the internal timetable) • Structural and Cohesion Funds – expected to be the main driver of the development policy for 2007-2013 • Achieving coherence in programming
NSRF structure • Similar to the NDP/CSF, according to the latest draft of the General Regulation: • Situation analysis • Strategy, with thematic/territorial priorities • List of OPs • Indicative financial allocation (including EARDF and EFF) • Additional information: actions for administrative efficiency, ex-ante verification of additionality, co-ordination with the EU cohesion policy • Brief description of institutional arrangements • All these sections are foreseen in the NDP structure
NDP state of play • Socio-economic analysis September 2004 • Development Strategy • First draft March 2005 • Second draft October 2005 • Financial Programming Mid-November 2005
NDP vs. NSRF • NDP 2007-2013 is concentratedon the means and areas of intervention specific to the new Cohesion Policy • Romanian approach: NSRF would be derived from the relevant sections of the NDP (analysis, strategy, financial allocation, implementation) • Major differences: • NDP priorities will be financed not only from the S&CF, but also from other EU funds (EARDF, EFF), indigenous public sources and external loans • No rural development and fisheries priority per se in NSRF – only complementarity mechanisms
Core elements of the NSRF strategy “Convergence” Objective • Increase economic competitiveness • Stimulate knowledge-based development • Ensure higher employability through human resources development • Develop and upgrade basic infrastructure “European Territorial Cooperation” Objective • Cross-border, transnational and inter-regional cooperation
Coherence with EU Strategies • Cohesion CSG – key document in designing NDP/NSRF • All three priority themes in the Cohesion CSG are highly relevant for Romania’s future development • However, the balance between these themes in NSRF must take into account the specific stage of development and the needs of RO as a new MS, confronted with significant external and internal disparities – flexible EC approach
Spatial development • NSRF will interface with the long-term National Strategic Concept of Spatial Development • Specific objectives: • Connection to the European and inter-continental network of spatial development poles and corridors • Balanced development of the urban localities network • Enhancing urban – rural space solidarity • Putting to the best use the natural and cultural patrimony
Urban vectors Centres of transnational importance Metropolitan areas Potential metropolitan areas Urban dimension
Partnership • Given the strong relation between NDP and NSRF, the partnership consultation held so far for NDP covers the entire scope of NSRF • NDP consultation and promotion • National level (ICP, thematic WGs, public debates, information campaigns, dedicated website and e-mail address, CSF MA helpdesk) • Regional and local level (RDP Commitees and WGs, public debates, information campaigns) • Dedicated NSRF partnership: January – March 2006
Issues to be clarified • Level of detail in NSRF • Relation with the National Reform Programme (October 2006) • Timetable correlation with the Agricultural and Fisheries Plans
