14. Challenges in preparation
Slow preparation:
Institutional: corporatization, Intercommunal Development Association, Delegation Contract
Low quality technical documentation: insufficient data from geo and topo studies.
Slow (bureaucratic) procurement process (6- 18 months): complex and unclear legislation, lower price criteria, low qualification requirements criteria, (too) many of complains and weak co- ordination between the procurement bodies
Results: financial correction 5- 25%
Solutions
Standard legal documents prepared by the Government and RWA
Standard tender documents
Legislation adjustment (not complete yet)
The Court

Difficulties in obtaining and maintaining the (costly) construction permits
Relocations of works and private lands
Inability to adjust the project and to manage Variation Orders: procurement legislation barrier, blocking the 10% of contingencies
Low rate of connection to the new networks
Solutions
Legal initiatives concerning: taxes for water infrastructure, private land, about using contingencies and contracting the supplementary works
The Romanian Experience in Execution of Environmental Projects with European Funding 25 November 2014, Sofia
16. Challenges in implementation
Weak contractors: no sufficient technical and financial capacity, insolvency and bankruptcy
Low guaranties/ insurance
Some financing and fiscal difficulties
Excessive and multiple control (with divergent opinions)
Low quality project management
Avoiding (fear) of taking decision
Solutions
Legal initiatives concerning the qualifications criteria
Legal changes of the VAT regime
COURAGE and PROFESSIONALISM
The Romanian Experience in Execution of Environmental Projects with European Funding 25 November 2014, Sofia
