PM Ciolacu: Comarnic-Brasov motorway project can be completed only under a public-private partnership

Published on

Romania’s Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu said on Wednesday that the Comarnic-Brasov motorway project can be completed only under a public-private partnership.

He made the clarifications at a news conference at the end of his visit to Qatar, after meeting on Wednesday Faisal bin Qassim al-Thani, president of the Qatar Businessmen’s Association, representatives of the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), the sovereign wealth fund of Qatar, and with those of Qatar Industrial Manufacturing to discuss joint co-operation interests and opportunities.

„It is one of the projects presented by the minister. I also unveiled at the news conference with the prime minister of Qatar the Comarnic-Brasov project. As far as I and the transport minister are concerned, the Comarnic-Brasov project can only be completed under a public-private partnership with an investment fund,” said Ciolacu.

He gave details of his business talks in Qatar.

„We were very clear about creating a committee in a month’s time, against a very fixed deadline, and together with the ministers, we still had meetings with business people, we had meetings with the Qatar Sovereign Fund, one of the largest sovereign wealth funds in the world, and a meeting with industrialists, and I presented all business opportunities in Romania, and also in Qatar for businesspeople from Romania,” Ciolacu said.

He added that together with the Chamber of Commerce he will have a meeting to form a technical work team to discuss projects worth some EUR 15 billion, both in industry and infrastructure.

„Naturally, the energy area was the highest in demand, digital transformation, infrastructure, the Constanta Port and where we do not cover from European funds or from the national budget, the agriculture area, the need for fertilisers post 2026, and there were also discussions regarding tourism,” Ciolacu said.
