The draft law follows the content of the new Corporate Regional Development Pact 2021-2027, as approved by the European Commission. It is in line with the new requirements of European regulations. Finally, it introduces arrangements for the simplification, acceleration and proper execution of the procedures for the management, monitoring and control of the co-financed operations.
