Labour Minister Florin Manole said on Monday that Romania faces a financial correction of up to 70 million euros. The correction is linked to reports submitted to the European Commission, in which deceased persons appear as having been deinstitutionalised.
Deinstitutionalisation means moving persons with disabilities or children from large residential-type centres to community-based services, such as supported housing or home support services. These programmes are partly financed from European funds, and each reported person must exist and be real in order to be taken into account.
When reports include persons who are no longer alive, the European Commission may consider that the expenditure is not justified. In such situations, the Commission may reduce or demand the return of certain amounts from the funds granted. The information available at the time of publication does not yet specify whether the final amount will be applied in full.
Romanian authorities are now analysing the reported data and checking how the documents were prepared. Minister Manole stressed the importance of careful verification in order to avoid financial penalties that would affect the national budget and ongoing social projects.
