Other 50 companies showed interest in the eProcurement and eReferendum projects while for the online billing and expanding the IT system for fiscal operations of the companies were received 49 bids each.
As for Romtelecom privatisation, Communication Ministry Dan Nica specified that the process of submitting the bids for selecting the consultant would start by the end of this month.

The Government over the next period will issue a decision to put up for sale the spaces that were used for high-tech production, such as Pipera-Baneasa platform, the minister specified.
