DECIDES:

Article 1.- All investment works and projects must strictly comply with the order of capital construction already stipulated in the Statute on the Management of Capital Construction issued along with Decree No.385-HDBT on the 7th of November, 1990. Eligible for registration in the plan and allocation of construction capital are only those projects having the necessary dossier on the economic and technical feasibility study (or the economic and technical report), the dossier on technical design and the total estimate of expenditures already approved according to prescribed modalities. In special cases on urgency when there is no time to complete the procedures as prescribed above, permission by the Prime Minister is mandatory.

With regard to projects handed over from the earlier period, the ministries and localities must check again the design, the total estimate of expenditures, the volume of construction and assembly already achieved up to the end of 1993 and the bidding contracts already signed. If the expenditures have exceeded the approved capital, construction should be temporarily suspended so that readjustments or additions could be made to the economic and technical feasibility study or the technical design and to the total estimate of expenditures for re-approval by the higher level and re-registration of the plan and new allocation of fund. The managerial board of the project and the construction and assembly businesses shall only effect a volume of work within the limit of the investment plan. The bank loan interest shall not be defrayed if it is accrued through the delay in payment.

Article 2.- When examining and approving the economic and technical feasibility study (or the economic and technical report) and the total investment, the technical design and the total estimate of expenditures, the total investment and the total estimate of expenditures shall be calculated on the basis of the prices at the time of the examination and approval. In case the total estimate of expenditures exceeds the total investment by 10% (ten percent), this estimate must be approved by the office authorized to approve the economic and technical feasibility study.

The prices written in the bidding contract is the price for payment of the project. The investors must not sign a contract with a price higher than the approved total estimate of expenditures, except in case the total estimate is re-approved according to the prescribed modalities. A contract can be implemented only after the authorized echelon has inspected and approved the technical design and the total estimate of expenditures. The price of the contract passed on by the contractor to a sub-contractor must also be sent to the authorized office for monitoring and inspection.

Article 3.- The investment in the construction of non-productive projects in the State sector must strictly abide by Decision No.75-CT of the Chairman of the Council of Ministers (now Prime Minister) on the 27th of March, 1991, especially with regard to office houses, guest houses, meeting halls and rest-houses of different levels, services and mass organizations at the center and in the localities.
