JASPERS Regional Office of Bucharest services Romania and Bulgaria.

The office opened in May 2007 and it is based in the "Casa Uniunii Europene", house along with the European Commission delegation and the European Parliament. As of 1st January 2012, there were 18 JASPERS experts and three administrative assistants based at the Regional Office of Bucharest.

 The Bucharest Regional Office offers technical assistance to Romania and Bulgaria to help them submit well-prepared project applications. These countries have significant infrastructure needs in all large sectors: Transport, Environment, Energy and Urban Development. This Programming Period's Grants are not enough to meet all investment needs, but the implementation of the highest possible number of projects should help to further the economic and social cohesion and promote the objective of "Convergence" which is the main objective of EU Grants in these countries.

JASPERS input will improve the project preparation and thus speed up the approval process and help identifying potential issues which may have an effect during the project implementation. As a result, JASPERS aims to help increase the absorption rates.
