Summary/Abstract: The territorial administrative organization of Romania has been a highly debated topic in recent years at the public level. Thus, immediately after 1990, in the light of the new vision regarding the organization of the state and society, the issue of territorial administrative reorganization was raised, especially since almost all the legislation prior to 1990 had been changed. Later, at various stages in the evolution of Romanian society and especially in the context of Romania's accession to the European Union, the subject reappeared. In this last context, the problem arose of the non-existence of a correspondence between the Romanian administrative structures and those existing at European level. The issue was somehow resolved by the establishment of the regions as territorial-statistical units without legal personality, representing the framework for the elaboration, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of regional development policies, including regional development strategies and economic and social cohesion programs.
