Summary/Abstract: Even though in this moment an exact response to the environment crisis can not be given, the economy tends to assume a fundamental role in its administration, by: rational utilization of the resources, the forethought of some costs and damages to the environment, establishing and respecting the modalities of protecting the environment. Without environmental protection, no sustainable development can be carried out. Sustainable development includes environmental protection, while environmental protection conditions sustainable development in its turn. The strategy of environmental protection can thus be found in its essential coordinates in the Strategy for sustainable development. Sustainable development is meeting today's needs of development without compromising future generations ability to develop. Ecological management strategy is an important tool for sustainability-promoting organizations in order to nature conservation and sustainable management. For that reason ecological management should be preferably promoted not only in the European countries but all over the world . There are a number of environmental standards available, around which we can model our Environmental Management System, or EMS. On the international scene we have the ISO14000 family, and at the European level we have EMAS, or the Eco- Management and Audit Scheme.
