Summary/Abstract: EU accession has led in recent years to substantial changes in the legal rules governing the regime of foreigners in Romania, as citizens of the Member States of the European Union and the European Economic Area, as well as in the rules of law governing asylum in Romania, in order to ensure compliance with European legislation and other international legal instruments to which the Romanian state is a party. Romania has a specific immigration policy according to the needs identified at the national level, taking into account the impact that this could have on other EU Member States; this policy aims to ensure fair treatment and harmonious integration of foreigners in Romanian society. In recent years, although Romania had largely remained transit state, it is also becoming more and more a destination state. The main purposes for which foreigners have established their temporary residence in Romania are largely related to the right to family reunification, education, employment.
