The country's roads authority CNADNR had initially announced that the electronic road toll system would be implemented starting August 1.

End-December 2009, CNADNR selected Romanian companies Novensys Corporation/UTI Systems to ensure the computerized system needed to issue, manage, monitor and control road toll stickers, for 35.96 million lei (EUR1=RON4.2375), VAT not included. The auction was challenged and CNADNR signed the contract in June this year.

According to a draft emergency decree drawn up by the ministry, considering the complexity of the implementation procedures, the electronic road toll system will not be available starting August 1. The ministry said that, given the facts, the deadline should be extended until October 1.

UTI Group owned by Romanian businessman Tiberiu Urdareanu provides solutions targeting IT&C, security, electrical installations and military systems.

Novensys, one of Romania's largest integrators of information management solutions provided by Microsoft, Oracle or Motorola, is headquartered in capital city Bucharest and also owns two offices in Cluj, northwestern Romania, and Timisoara, western Romania.
