The rate of payments of EU funds on a monthly basis is seven times higher this year in comparison to last year, declared the Minister of EU funds, Mr. Tomislav Donchev, at a meeting organized by the Bulgarian Business Leaders Forum and the Bulgarian Association of Management Consulting Organizations. Despite this data, the Minister said that this rate should be increased substantially in order to achieve better results. "I am undertaking the commitment to make the rate of payments a two digit number by fall of this year."
"The business sector is most affected by the late payments and and that can be observed particularly in the Operational programme "Development of the Competitiveness of the Bulgarian Economy 2007-2013" pointed out Mr. Donchev. The introduction of a regulated period of 3 months to make such payments is planned in order to ease the situation.
