Summary/Abstract: The unification of the law at European level acts as a step which succeeds the nearby processes and legislative alignment and implies that the laws of each Member State have to adapt to the basic principles and the European legislation in force. Wingspan process involves, firstly, a strong legal responsibility of Member States, in general, and of the Romanian state, in particular, and this must be channeled mainly for adapting national legislation to the requirements of European law, without neglecting the slightest obligation to respect the legal standards developed at European level. In this context, liability, one of the most important terms of the law, along with legal responsibility, prerequisite and necessary, enable this process at all easy. European legal order and national legal order are not mutually exclusive but they are intertwined in the direction of an uniform law in the European Union, overpassing borders. The fact that the Romanian state is one of the Member States of the European Union make it to be, primarily, a matter of law for the European legal order, requiring both legal liability on its part, as far as legal liability. Thus, it becomes imperative the following question: what happens if the romanian state is not manifesting the above mentioned responsibility and violates European law? In other words, will it respond for disregarding European law?
