Aspects regarding the Institutional Framework for the Coordination and Management of European Structural and Investments Funds in Romania

Summary/Abstract: The paper takes into account one of the problems faced at present in the EU States, namely improving ways of attracting and managing EU funds. There must be taken into account the changes in the current socio-economic context, the changes on the labour market in the states, as well as other changes in the system of implementation, which may have an impact on the implementation of the operational programmes. It was found that the elaboration, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of programming documents involve compliance with the European principle of partnership. A close cooperation aiming at an integrated and coherent approach to EU funds must exist between all national, regional and local levels of public administration. Regional and local authorities are seen as authorities located closest to the actual use of these funds, having a key role in the realization of economic, social and territorial cohesion. The degree of involvement of these authorities in attracting and managing EU funds is influenced by the specific institutional framework of each member state, but also by the legal and budgetary competences of the various territorial levels.
