Mark Gray: EC did not decide to cut Romania's EU funds yet

It is premature to speculate on the European Commission’s possible decision to cut Romania’s EU funds before the publication of the July judicial report, EC Spokesperson Mark Gray declared for HotNews.ro. His declaration comes after Romania’s Senate speaker Mircea Geoana announced that Romania’s EU funds might be suspended. Gray declared that the EC did not decide whether there will be a report on Romania’s EU fund management.

We will continue to collaborate with Romanian authorities so that the money of European citizens will reach Romanian citizens as soon as possible, Gray declared. He assured that the EU is closely monitoring Romania’s EU fund management.

Concerning the upcoming EC July report on the status of Romania’s judicial reform and fight against corruption, Gray announced that the opinion of the experts is not yet known as they did not have time to write up a report.
