Infrastructure projects of national interest, including those of strategic importance that connect to European transport corridors, will no longer require to Urban Zoning Planning - PUZ, not even if they affect the buildable area of localities, according to an emergency ordinance draft cited by local Profit.ro.

The current law provides that even trans-European transport infrastructure projects require PUZ, and their approval takes a lot of time.

The Government plans to remove the obligation of getting these permits in order to avoid losing EU funds for the infrastructure projects.
