The Executive approved today, in a Government meeting, at the proposal of the Ministry of the Environment, Waters and Forests, the Emergency Ordinance regarding the procedure for renting the beach areas with tourist destination of the Black Sea for the summer seasons 2023-2024.
Representatives of the Ministry of Environment claim that this GEO has provided regulations considered optimal for the timely conduct of auctions for beach rentals. Also, this regulatory act will reduce the negative impact on economic operators in the tourism sector and tourism activities on the Black Sea coast , achieving the appropriate organization of activities specific to the summer season and improving the conditions for carrying out tourism and leisure activities.
Here's what's changing about public auctions
Bearing in mind that in 2022 approximately 200 beach lease contracts have expired by reaching the term and, at the same time, a series of works on combating coastal erosion have been completed or are in the process of being completed, for which the lots of rented have undergone changes by including these new surfaces, it is necessary to regulate the rental conditions, in relation to the start of the summer season.
"The emergency ordinance approved today regulates the organization of auctions and the execution of rental contracts, taking into account that the summer season begins on May 1. Thus, the terms for conducting auctions will be reduced, as well as the number of maximum admissible offers in the presence of which the auction can be awarded (from 2 offers to one) . Also, the term of the rental contract is set at 2 years (summer seasons 2023-2024 - minimum term required to obtain the new PUZ) and there will be the possibility of analyzing rental offers by several Commissions, organized at the ANAR level. All these subsumed regulatory proposals will lead to the reduction in half of the auction and contract conclusion period, currently the period totaling at least 55 days" , declared the Minister of Environment, Water and Forests, Barna Tánczos.
The Emergency Ordinance approved today will ensure a minimum number of conditions necessary to carry out, in conditions of maximum speed, the tenders, reducing certain deadlines, in compliance with the general regulations regarding the evaluation procedure, communication, preparation of the award documentation and establishment of content and conclusion of the contract.
Regulating the rental procedure by reducing the deadlines ensures the possibility of awarding rental contracts so that economic operators have the opportunity to prepare beach areas for tourism on time, taking into account the fact that the summer season begins on 01.05.2023.
