Summary/Abstract: After the 1989 Revolution, the integration of Romania into the European and Euro-Atlantic structures (by joining the E.U. and N.A.T.O.) represents a major, steady and long-term objective of Romania's domestic and foreign policy. This objective has been the task of all the governments in Bucharest, for the last 15 years and it has a landslide support of public opinion, of the political and intellectual elite, of all the political parties. All parties, syndicates, cults, non-government organizations agreed to keep up Romania's European integration process, signing the National Strategy of the Accession to the E.U., in 1995. Today, neither political party, nor non-governmental organization asserts itself against European integration (unlike other countries). Public surveys confirm that 80% of the Romanians highly uphold the idea of European integration, desiring a Western living standard.
