However, the real challenge consists of the success of the integration with the European mode as, finally, the modernization of Romania depends on a successful outcome of this process. Shall we be in the position to valorize this huge opportunity? The Romanian authorities, will they manage to adopt a coherent mix of economic policies able to settle the trade-off between reaching the nominal convergence and the need for a real convergence? Shall we manage to absorb a larger part of the European funds so that we can be in the position to reduce the gaps as against the EU-27 countries? How could we stimulate the convergence potential of the Romanian economy? Which will be the contribution of Romania to the dynamic transformation of the European model? Looking after rational answers to all these question marks, the GAER management decided to propose to the Romanian and international scientific community the Symposium “The Integration of Romania in the European Union: opportunities and challenges”; the first paper works of this symposium being grouped in this volume. The second part of the symposium volume will comprise other significant scientific contributions which, we hope, would set up the very basis of a Romanian sub-model, as part of the European model. This is actually a theoretical elaboration representing both an opportunity and a challenge for the debate of ideas within the Romanian and international intellectual environment. 10 Integrarea României în Uniunea Europeană.
