2 THE 14 TH ROMANIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS OF ROADS AND BRIDGES Via vitae DAN-COMAN ȘOVA Minister Delegate for infrastructure projects of national interest and foreign investments Romanian roads facing a new challenge It is my pleasure to invite you to participate in the XIV th National Congress of Roads and Bridges in Romania, which will take place between the 10 th 13 th of September 2014, in Cluj-Napoca. I consider that your presence will contribute to the success of the Congress which is taking place during a period of great importance for the future of the main road network in Romania, part of the European network, that continues towards the South-East of the Continent (Main land) and Middle East, that we wish to assure in the best conditions. It has been a long time since the fall of the communism and since Romania joined the European Union, until the reality proved that, without a quality infrastructure, especially in road transportation, the way to progress, efficiency and competition is practically blocked. Following the recent political and executive changes that took place in Romania, we gave the due priority to the main transportation network namely the road network, the National Company of Highways and National Roads that I have the honor and responsibility to lead, which is at present under the coordination of the Department for Infrastructure Projects and Foreign Investments, department which is under the authority of the General Secretary of the Government and has the special attention of the Prime Minister. In this situation, benefitting from the important financial support of the European Union, we proposed an ambitious development program for the main road network, through which, at the end of 2014, we will have built a highway network that will measure 1000 km. Also, another 300 km will be contracted for execution and another 170 km representing the following highway sections Pitesti Sibiu and Ploiesti Predeal will be leased. The state budget for 2013 and the following period earmarks important amounts of money for the cofinanced works executed by the European Funds and the direct financing in the road sector. Through your positive response to the invitation that I am addressing to you to participate in the Congress, we are expecting presentations of papers and fruitful discussions that are designated to contribute to the technical and managerial support of our development program for the highway and main road network. 18

The event is welcome at a time when the effectiveness derives from the mobilization of all participating stakeholders in the development of the country s road network: research, design, management, implementation, administration and maintenance. Why is this stage crucial for the present and future? Because through the radical measures, the routine condition that has characterized the last decades may be eliminated, this having the possibility of being changed into a dynamic and priority activity determined by: the real main factor of economic development; materialize into extension of Romanian s highway network up to about 1000 km at the XIV th Congress in 2014; of Highways and National Roads by subordinating the National Company of Highways and National Roads to the Government, being preferentially separated in this way from the sectors within the Ministry of Transport, every other transportation ways facing too many problems as well. The development, operation and maintenance activities of the country s main road network will be coordinated by the General Secretariat of the Government, through the Department of Infrastructure Projects and Foreign Investment; years out of which a significant proportion will go to the road sector. We have a comprehensive and diversified program for the following years including supporting and expanding highways and national roads constructions for: which remains on the implementation phase below 100 km at the time of the Congress, on the Pitesti Sibiu road section; 19

The realization of the freeway network, the rehabilitation of the main roads in the Romanian road network, the modernization of local roads, the development and systematization of the urban road network, the sustainable development of the road infrastructure, integrated in the multimodal transportation system, etc., represent important landmarks towards which, on the one hand, the financing efforts are guided, and on the other hand the efforts of the specialists in the road field in our country with the help of many foreign collaborators are focused. Driving safety is a major goal for the concerns of the road network administrators, constructors, researchers and for those involved in the management of roads with the purpose of reducing significantly the number of accidents hence the costs that they induce to the society. Our efforts join those of the international organizations, marked by the UN decade for safety. We will have the opportunity to get to know each other s technical achievements and to analyze the action prospects in the road fields. We will discuss the results of the most effective techniques in the design, construction, maintenance and operation of roads, with the view to identifying the most efficient directions for action which we will place at the disposal of those who make decisions concerning the strategy of realizing a modern road infrastructure in Romania, at the level of international requirements.
