JASPERS assignments in the water and wastewater sector
In 2010 JASPERS worked on 40 assignments in the urban infrastructure sector with the majority of assignments related to urban transport.
During 2010 JASPERS completed 11 assignments in this sector, eight of them resulting in major projects for which grant applications were submitted to the European Commission. In Bulgaria, with the assistance of consultants, JASPERS continued to provide intensive support to five integrated urban transport projects where there has been notable progress in the finalisation of contracts for feasibility studies. Meanwhile, in 2010 the Burgas integrated urban transport project was submitted to the European Commission.
