"The Council had two main subjects, which ended in conclusions being drawn. One of them referred to energies. It is the first Council devoted to the subject of energy. This subject has been dealt with before, but this Council has a conclusion meant to create the single energy market in the European Union. A fact meaning that, by 2014, all legal regulations on the single energy market must come into force and, by 2015, there must be no energy island in the EU territory, that is, no EU region should be isolated. The single energy market refers to the gas and electric energy markets. It is interesting to note that people also aim at interconnecting to countries that are not necessarily EU member states, like, for instance, Serbia and the Republic of Moldova. This is our support to the two countries. We are to see how we shall be able to interconnect the two countries too to the budget of the European Union," said the Head of State. According to him, the unification of the energy market would result in diminishing the risk of a country not being supplied energy. "This aim will make it possible, for instance, for Romania to supplement its necessary quantity of gas either from Gazprom or from the North Sea. ... It is one of the most important decisions on energy security. It also refers to the unification of the gas and electric power markets," explained President Traian Basescu. As for the field of innovation the President said that they were aware of the need to increase the resources allocated to innovation and research as a first step to boosting the competitiveness of the EU economy. "This is where we put in: they should consider the vulnerable persons when creating the policy of making market prices on a par with the ones in the EU. Therefore, they should find a formula: either to subsidize or to allocate at a price anybody could bear," said the Head of State. He also said that they adopted a document preceding the decision that is to be made in March this year, which will first aim at the financial fiscal consolidation of the euro zone. "I can tell you, for instance, that, as part of this policy, they also approach the question of a single retirement age, of a single system of taxes and fees. States that are not in the Euro zone can take part in the finalization of the documents as they are future members of the zone and are affected," also said President Traian Basescu. Stage review after one year in office Bucharest, Feb 9 /MFA/ - Minister of Foreign Affairs Teodor Baconschi has presented today, 9 February 2011, at a press conference, a stage review of his first year in office. “In 2010 Romania was active internationally and involved in continuing the European construction. 2011 will but confirm and enhance last year’s efforts. In 2011, I will further promote an intelligent, balanced, active and dignified diplomacy and why not, a daring one. Our conception and action efforts need to Arundel House, 4 Palace Green, London W8 4QD Phone: +44 (0)20 7937 9666 Fax: +44 (0)20 7937 8069 e-mail: [email protected] Web site: www.london.mae.ro Embassy of Romania in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland ____________________________________________________________________________________________ become more visible. Reactive diplomacy needs to be replaced with an active attitude both within the European Union and internationally,” stated Foreign Minister Teodor Baconschi. The head of the Romanian diplomacy then elaborated on the wide-scope projects launched in his first year in office and the priorities for 2011: adoption of the law on postal vote, the EU Strategy for the Danube Region, Romania’s representation in the EEAS, accession to the Schengen Area, development of an active and transparent diplomatic service, relations with the Republic of Moldova and with the priority spaces, and supporting the national business environment. Minister Teodor Baconschi reiterated the importance of the postal vote and said he hoped Parliament would pass the respective bill by year- end, given that it enjoyed cross-party support. “This law extends the basis for access to democracy to nearly 3 million compatriots. It sets right an injustice done to our fellow citizens in the Diaspora, given that only 4.7% of Romanians in the Diaspora could cast their vote at the latest elections,” Minister Baconschi stated. In connection with the European agenda, the head of the Romanian diplomacy mentioned the official adoption of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region at the European Council on 24 June, consolidation of the Romanian presence in the European External Action Service, and Romania’s accession to the Schengen Area. Referring to the EU’s Danube Strategy, Minister Baconschi insisted on the main benefits to be derived from implementing it, such as: modernization in point of competitiveness and attractiveness of towns and villages on the Romanian bank of the Danube; job creation and development of business projects; new environmental standards – projects to build water purification stations in all major settlements on the Danube; development of a system to monitor ecosystems; better year-round navigability all along the river; the prospect of completing the Danube-Bucharest canal, and two new bridges between Romania and Bulgaria; generalization of broadband internet connections in the rural environment; a high-speed rail line between Budapest – Bucharest – Constanta; and initiating a research dimension in the field, i.e. an international institute for the Danube Delta and the Black Sea. “The available resources are significant, about 40 billion Euros for the current accounting period of the Union, until 2013, and I am sure there are initiatives and projects that need such financial resources, down to the smallest villages in the Danube Delta,” said the head of the Romanian diplomacy. Minister Teodor Baconschi reiterated the fact that accession to the Schengen Area had been a priority for the MFA. “We are ready to join the Schengen Area; after 7 evaluations, the country report on Romania was adopted. We hope in June, by the end of the Hungarian Presidency, we have a political decision on a definite date in the second half of the year,” the Minister said. Minister Baconschi then spoke of efforts to ensure that Romania is adequately represented in the European External Action Service, those efforts having materialized, for the time being, in the appointment of Ambassador Viorel Isticioaia-Budura as director general for Asia in the EEAS leading team. Romania will continue its demarches to actively promote national candidacies to the EU’s diplomatic service. “We have not stopped lobbying for Romanian candidates. I believe other representatives of the Romanian diplomacy will soon be selected at working levels,” said the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

    The Aromanian Community from Romania Fara Armãneascã dit Romania REPORT on the activity of the “Aromanian Community from Romania” Association between 2004 and 2007 The hereby Activity Report reflects the mission undertaken by our organization, the way we have put into practice the principles of the organization, the projects performed by us on the fulfillment of the objectives set as well as the relationships developed with various partners – non- governmental organizations, national, European and international institutions. The Report describes the activity carried out by the “Aromanian Community from Romania” Association between 2004 and 2007 regarding the cultural activities and projects, the finances received from the state budget, the increase in the number of members and the development of the human resources. A special focus is put on the actions taken in the relationship with the state institutions for the fulfillment of the objectives set. The Aromanian Community from Romania – objectives, mission The Aromanian Community from Romania is aware that when the identity of a people is not well shaped and strong enough, the respective people could leave the stage of history. All the peoples who lost their definition and identity have been taken over by nations which clearly, strongly and effectively affirmed their identity. Definitely, any nation that does not preserve and promote its identity is doomed to have a historical disappearance. The Aromanian Community from Romania has taken over the historical challenge for affirming the identity of the Aromanian people as a separate people from any other people and has undertaken the mission to save from disappearance the Aromanian language, traditions and the entire Aromanian spiritual and cultural features, the only action that could preserve, develop and affirm the Aromanian’s own identity being the de jure acknowledgement and also the registration as a national minority.

  • City of Bucharest
    City of Bucharest Intercultural Profile 1. Background1 Bucharest is the capital and largest city, as well as the cultural, industrial, and financial centre of Romania. According to the 2011 census, 1,883,425 inhabitants live within the city limits, a decrease from the 2002 census. Taking account of the satellite towns around the urban area, the proposed metropolitan area of Bucharest would have a population of 2.27 million people. However, according to unofficial data given by Wikipedia, the population is more than 3 million (raising a point that will be reiterated throughout this report that statistics are not universally reliable in Romania).Notwithstanding, Bucharest is the 6th largest city in the European Union by population within city limits, after London, Berlin, Madrid, Rome, and Paris. Bucharest accounts for around 23% of the country’s GDP and about one-quarter of its industrial production, while being inhabited by only 10% of the country’s population. In 2010, at purchasing power parity, Bucharest had a per-capita GDP of EUR 14,300, or 45% that of the European Union average and more than twice the Romanian average. Bucharest’s economy is mainly focused on industry and services, with a significant IT services sector. It houses 186,000 companies, and numerous companies have set up headquarters in Bucharest, attracted by the highly skilled labour force and low operating costs. The list includes multinationals such as Microsoft, IBM, P&G, HP, Oracle, Wipro, and S&T. In terms of higher education, Bucharest is the largest Romanian academic centre and one of the most important locales in Eastern Europe, with 16 public and 18 private institutes and over 300,00 students.

  • Notă De Fundamentare
    NOTĂ DE FUNDAMENTARE I. Titlul proiectului de act normativ Hotărâre pentru aprobarea Strategiei NaŃionale de Securitate Nucleară, pe anii 2009-2012 II. Motivul emiterii actului normativ 1. Descrierea situaŃiei actuale Contextul naŃional şi internaŃional în care energetica nucleară românească se dezvoltă în prezent este cu totul diferit în raport cu cel existent în anii de început şi cel ulterior anilor 1992-1996. Energetica nucleară românescă este în plină dezvoltare şi are ca obiective majore, punerea în funcŃiune a UnităŃilor 3 şi 4 de la Cernavodă în perioada 2014-2015, aflată pe amplasamentul de la Cernavodă, precum şi construirea unei noi centrale nuclearoelectrice folosind o tehnologie diferită decât cea existentă la Centrala nuclearoelectrică de la Cernavodă (care foloseşte tehnologie CANDU 6 - combustibil uraniu natural şi moderator apă grea). Aceste priorităŃi coroborate cu împlinirea, în decembrie 2010, a 14 ani de la atingerea puterii nominale a UnităŃii 1 de la Centrala Nuclearoelectrică de la Cernavodă (U1) şi finalizarea punerii în funcŃiune a UnităŃii 2 în 2007, conduc la amplificarea responsabilităŃilor României în asigurarea unui control corespunzător al activităŃilor sale în domeniul nuclear. De asemenea, utilizarea surselor de radiaŃii ionizante în învăŃământ, cercetare, industrie, aplicaŃii medicale şi în alte domenii este strict reglementată, autorizată şi controlată. Se asigură astfel protecŃia nucleară şi radiologică a personalului expus profesional, a populaŃiei, a mediului şi a proprietăŃii. În acest proces, România

Relations Between Romania and the Republic of Moldova (2009-2018)1 ARMAND GOȘU* (University of Bucharest) Abstract This article aims to present the evolution of relations between Romania and the Republic of Moldova over the last decade, in the period between “the Twitter revolution” and the summer of 2018, the moment when there was a dramatic cooling of relations between the European Union, the United States, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank, on the one hand, and Moldova on the other. In this article we also analyze the way in which Romania has reacted to Moldova's side skids and try to make sense of the extent to which the government in Bucharest may be considered responsible for the transformation of Moldova from the success story of the Eastern Partnership into a captive state, as it is considered today.
