Summary/Abstract: The current study sets out to analyze the cooperative sector throughout several decades, both in the European and the Romanian area. After a presentation of the definitions and characteristics specific to the cooperative societies, as well as the principles and methods of the cooperative organization, this study goes through the defining elements of a cooperative in the European Union and Romania. Given the geo-political conditions encountered in the Romanian space, our attention was focused particularly on the opportunities and limitations encountered in the development of the sector for the future.
