The implementation of the EU’s environmental policy in Romania

Abstract

The environmental policy is the most important of the community policies. The importance of the environmental policy is due to its horizontal characteristic, to its compulsory aspects for other European Union policies. The scientific grounds of the Romanian governmental policies and strategies, from elaboration to implementation and evaluation, are a very important aspect of the European integration process. The European Institute from Romania (IER) and the Romanian scientific environment help the national coordination system of European affairs to substantiate the basic elements and the necessary measures of the policies of Romania to exert its role as a member state of the EU. IER makes different studies and analyses to ground the Romanian position in the EU, the necessary measures to fulfill Romania’s obligations as a member state of the EU, and to represent the Romanian interests before community institutions.
