REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE AGREEMENT OF EU-RM

Summary/Abstract: The importance of regional development is to improve the standard of living, the quality of life of citizens in a region/specific area and the country in general. The implementation of regional development as a public policy in the European Union implies the acceptance of the following principles: the respect of local selfadministration, the encouragement of partnerships of regional development between stakeholders at different levels of public administration; the stimulation and efficient use of initiatives in the regions; the support of ongoing development of potential regions.For Moldova, the regional development - since the liberal - democratic governance was established in September 2009 and till nowadays - has become an imperative assumed. Thus, Republic of Moldova had undertaken many actions in the implementation of regional development policy in accordance with the requirements of EU policies. However, we see that there are still problems such as: lack of experience, inadequate regulatory framework realities in regional development etc. In this way, the regional development in the context of decentralization requires that local authorities will become effective partners, both in the strategic planning process, and in the exercise of implementing projects funded national and international. The ability of local authorities to participate effectively in the development and implementation of regional projects needs an increasing their autonomy. The purpose of the present article is to analyze the existing opinions in the specialized literature, the judicial regulations regarding the status of local public administration in the Republic of Moldova and other countries. In conclusion, we will make proposals to modernize the legislation of the Republic of Moldova in this field, in order to successfully implement the policy of decentralization and local autonomy in our state, but also to ensure the increase of institutional capacity of local public administration and regional development policies.
