Romanian government is looking for companies interested in a PPP for the general cadastre

Government has announced a memorandum that approves the project for a public private partnership on the implementation of the general cadastre, the Ministry for Regional Development and Tourism (MDRT) has announced.

“Through this project we are looking for private companies that have necessary financial resources to create the general cadastre,” reads a press release from the ministry.

“After twenty years of incoherent application of a property law that has also often been changed, we unfortunately find ourselves in the situation where the surface area owned according to the property deeds that have been issued over the years is larger than Romania’s actual surface area,” Elena Udrea, the Romanian minister for regional development and tourism, previously stated.

The minister stressed that Romania’s lack of a general cadastre makes it very hard to implement large-scale investment projects. Investors too, especially those in real estate and agriculture, have been calling for such a measure for a long time.

Representaives of the Romanian National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration (ANCPI) told BR on a previous occasion that getting the huge funds to finance the project is only the tip of the iceberg, and even if Romania had the necessary money, the process would still take a very long time to complete so long as there isn’t a strong political will to implement it and, most importantly, to solve once and for all the legal issues related to property restitutions and property deeds which have been dealt with in a very incoherent manner over the past 20 years.
