Responsabilitate și răspundere privind amenajarea spațiului maritim românesc
Responsibility and accountability regarding the management of the romanian maritime space

Summary/Abstract: The study aims to inform and increase awareness not only about the impact of the maritime area on the economy and its potential benefits, but also about the transposition of European policies and strategies at national level, which often leads to legislative challenges – usually in terms of internal administrative responsibility and liability – that are not missing from the maritime spatial planning process either. In order to avoid possible penalties that could be applied following the triggering of the infringement procedure, Romania adopted at the end of 2023 the “Maritime Spatial Planning”. The actual plan defines new ways of jointly exercising competences, a novelty apart from the existing ones, mainly for central public authorities. The development and implementation of the “Maritime Spatial Planning” are based on leveraging the existing data and the collaboration of stakeholders – including central and local public authorities and institutions, business, academia, civil society and the general public – without introducing new burdens or special regulations. Considering the extent of the “Maritime Spatial Planning Plan” and the fact that it mainly concerns the exclusive public property of the Romanian State, it is necessary, more than ever, to pay particular attention to the application of the principle recognised as professional “responsibility and liability” of public administration officials.
