In a press release, ACC says the implementation of the €64.8 Priority Investment Program financed by the EBRD and EIB was an important subject for discussion. Deputy technical production director Adrian Cecan said a number of modern machines, including excavators and specialized equipment, were already delivered within the project.

The procedure for signing individual contracts with consumers was another subject discussed in the meeting. Vladimir Mocreac, ACC client relations director, said there is no legal prerequisite for signing direct contracts with apartment building dwellers.
