A former high official in the Ministry of Transports illustrated the rigid approach when it comes to state aids destined to Romanian transporters: ”we can’t grants subsidies because EU won’t let us“. It now seems that such a point of view is wrong, since other countries within the Union are allowed to offer grants in the transportation field. While it is true that the Belgian grants amount only 450.000 Euros, it is important that even these money could be offered.
Far from offering even a single RON directly, Romanian ”help“ is represented by tariff increases, traffic restrictions and driving times regulations disregarding the lack of truck parkings
