In order to ensure the fulllment of the e-ante conditionalit according to criteriaforeseen in Regulation 8)D9 *o "#!#'!"#, the assessment of the main ris2s inRomania will be performed through two )D funded projects, under thecoordination of the %inistr for Internal &Bairs, and within the framewor2 of the.or2ing (roup on Ris2 &ssessment at *ational 4evel 8(4)R*9@

7he RO-RISK project started at the end of !"#, is to be ended b +ecember !"5

and will be continued with RO-RISK until *ovember !"$@

7he projects consist of four activities, which consider the criteria to be used toassess the e-ante conditionalit fullment, as follows:

7he projects for national ris2 assessment will develop a set of instruments for aunitar ris2 assessment and the integration of the sectorial evaluation results8methodolog, databases and (IS portal9, and also the rst assessment of ris2s@

7hese instruments will facilitate the access of all sta2eholders to relevantinformation regarding eposure, vulnerabilities, and ris2s, and facilitateinformation echange between responsible authorities, in order to prioritiseprevention measures based on the economic damages avoided, and responsemeasures based on residual ris2 mapping@

7hereb it will be possible to identif interconnections between diBerent tpes of ris2s, to avoid overlapping eBorts and to prioriti>e common strategies for disasterris2 reduction@
