2. 2 Investment cost: 1.2 billion. BGN The project for energy efficiency in multifamily buildings aims to contribute to the integrated and sustainable urban development as a determining factor in achieving balanced development within the agglomeration areas and regions, and in the broader context of achieving territorial cohesion throughout the country. Expected results are: Over 50% reduction in heating costs Improved housing infrastructure and changes in the appearance of cities. Saving greenhouse gas emissions (CO2 and others.). Extended life and increased market value of buildings. SMEs to be involved in the process – architectures, constructors, companies for audits for energy efficiency, material manufacturers and others.

10. 10 Located in Eastern Bulgaria, links the two largest ports, Varna and Burgas, as part of Pan-European Transport Corridor VIII which runs to the Adriatic Sea 10 km of the motorway have been completed, and 95 km remain to be built Projected cost of the project: EUR 340 mln.

11. In Bulgaria, a major problem is the poor quality of the infrastructure and the need for funds to build, efficient maintenance, modernization and development; The location of Bulgaria as one of the crossroads of Europe – with 50% of Trans European corridors passing through it, imposes a need to collect revenues from visiting and transiting vehicles, to maintain road quality and to support smooth border and internal security operations. The current sticker vignette system is costly to administer and may not collect all the revenues due – as it is not an easily enforceable system. It is also a very blunt tool – charging by duration of access rather than distance travelled.. 11
