The European Commission has proposed to provide EUR 110.85 million to finance three infrastructure projects in Bulgaria under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF). The projects were selected for funding via competitive calls for proposals under the CEF, launched in October 2016.
The EC has selected for funding projects involving the development of the Plovdiv railway node, the modernisation of a road connecting Sofia with Kalotina, as well as studies related to the final design for the completion of the basic infrastructures of Port of Burgas and of its rail connections with the Orient/East-Med Corridor.
The European Commission has recommended funding of 87.95 million euros for the Plovdiv railway project and of 2.3 million euros for the Port of Burgas project.
The EC’s proposal is subject to approval by the EU member states, represented in the Connecting Europe Facility Coordination Committee. Grant agreements with the beneficiaries are expected to be signed in the second half of 2017.
