Under Contract B1 in Baneasa, which is not receiving Bank financing since June 30, 2009 and Contract B2 (Straulesti) some works are still ongoing but they are nearing completion. Component 2 (Arad) and Component 3 (Project Preparation for EU Funding) were closed as scheduled on June 30, 2011 as the loan for Component 2 (Arad) was fully exhausted. Public Disclosure Copy Delays persist in completing Contract A1 (Gai District) while the other two components are finished and are in their defect liability period. The Municipality of Arad undertook to continue financing the project to fully complete all remaining construction works under Contract A1. Component 3 is completed. Master Plans for 11 counties have been completed and adopted by the final beneficiaries. Based on these Master Plans ten full feasibility studies and applications for EC financing have been prepared. All nine proposals were approved and will generate grant co-financing from the EU Structural Funds for about Euro 1 billions, substantially contributing to the absorption of EU funding and helping Romania meet its targets under its accession obligations in Environment.
