The SOP Environment - Institutional Frame
Viability and functionality of the SOP Environment institutional frame - key-elements for the assessments carried out by the European Commission on projects submitted towards Bruxelles.
The Institutional Analysis (included in FC) – ensuring an adequate and sufficiently powerful institutional frame for project implementation and for the subsequent sound operation of the infrastructure that is to be achieved with European funds
The legal frame – primary and secondary legislation in force regarding the sectors: water and sewerage, waste, district heating etc.

• Beneficiary –Regional Operator (RO);
• Regionalization – The only solution for increasing the efficiency of water and sewerage services and for the fulfillment in due time of all commitments assumed by Romania via the Adhesion Treaty
• Institutional elements – a sine-qua-non condition for project approval :
• IDA (intercommunity development association) – A co-operation based structure that shall allow local authorities to control the water operator and to better monitor and supervise the implementation process;
• RO – Must demonstrate their capacity to operate in a durable manner
• Single delegation contract - to be signed by the IDA and the RO;
• The need to create a Project Implementation Unit (PIU) inside the RO;

The SOP Environment - Institutional Frame
![Page 14: from local operatorbwa-bg.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Regionalizare-IASI.pdf · • 2001-2009 The ISPA Program ... • 2011-2012 The SOP Environment Program . The SOP Environment](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022041603/5e327dff2a58146ff95c60ba/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The “in-house rules”
The similar control - The territorial administrative units perform, via the association (IDA), upon the regional operator, a control similar to the one performed upon their own structures and a decisive influence upon all RO’s strategic and/or significant decision within the project area.
The criterion of exclusivity - The regional operator performs its activities in the field of water and sewerage services, exclusively for the public authorities associated within the IDA.
The operator’s fully public capital - The involvement of private capital in the operator’s share capital is strictly excluded, since founding stage, and along the whole duration of delegation contract

Motives behind the need for regionalization
The rationale related to the European integration: compliance to environment standards, within dead-lines defined by the Adhesion Treaty;
The economic rationale: use of scale savings for decreasing investment and operation costs
The solidarity rationale:
Small and average communities do not have the capacity to prepare and implement projects, nor the capacity to operate the investments.
Great cities have the capacity to support, from their own investments, the needed investments (without getting associated to smaller localities, the cities cannot access financial grants)
The viability rationale (the BCA result) - Cannot be proved for most of small localities (having historical debts and lacking of needed expertise).

Motives behind the need for regionalization
The rationale related to the European integration: compliance to environment standards, within dead-lines defined by the Adhesion Treaty;
The economic rationale: use of scale savings for decreasing investment and operation costs
The solidarity rationale:
Small and average communities do not have the capacity to prepare and implement projects, nor the capacity to operate the investments.
Great cities have the capacity to support, from their own investments, the needed investments (without getting associated to smaller localities, the cities cannot access financial grants)
The viability rationale (the BCA result) - Cannot be proved for most of small localities (having historical debts and lacking of needed expertise).
