2012 registers over BGN 2.2 billion of payments under EU programmes

Some 98% of EU means are contracted and EUR 2.6 billion have been paid out so far. For this year alone payments amount to over EUR 1.13 billion, Minister of EU Fund Management Tomislav Donchev.

The sum is comparable to the overall payments in the previous five years, even before the year is out. In January we would be able to assess how the year has been completed, Minister Donchev pointed out, adding that this year Bulgaria marks a very serious growth of contractibility of EU funding.
