Perspectives for 2012 and onwards... Commitment of all the funds still available and approval of the projects in the portfolio; SOP Environment evaluation; Launch the preparation of the project pipeline for 20142020 in the water, waste and contaminated sites sectors; Start the preparatory activities to elaborate the strategic documents for the 2014-2020 programming period.
Conclusions SOP Environment - operational program with experienced users who have implemented similar projects in the past: MUDP, SAMTID, ISPA, PHARE; Last year was an unprecedented leap in terms of employment of funds in the water, waste, heating - over 4 bilion Euro funds committed It is expected a market response in the awarding process for contracts of works, equipment and services; Period 2011-2013 is decisive for contracting components included in projects funded by SOP Environment Efforts to achieve full compliance with European Directives should continue in the programming period 2014 - 2020!
