Dragoș Pîslaru, former Minister of Investments, highlights ongoing reporting issues threatening Romania's access to €3.4 billion from the PNRR. He attributes these problems to a lack of an integrated IT system during his tenure and emphasizes that the responsibility lies with the ministries implementing reforms. Current Minister Mihai Ghigiu reported risks to 38 targets, estimating only €3 billion could be secured from the last two payment requests. Pîslaru insists that delays are not recent but have accumulated over time, urging the current government to resolve documentation issues to secure funds before the November deadline. He stresses the importance of clear documentation for negotiations with the European Commission, warning that failure to address these issues could jeopardize funding.
