Abstract

One of the problems mentioned within the reunion of the European Council from Sevillia, in June 2002, approached the need of the candidate countries to continue reinforcing the administrative capacity in order to reach the European standards. The conclusion of 2002 Country report, referring to  the  adhering conditions  of Romania to the  European Union, mentioned that the consolidation of the administrative capacity demands a structural reform of the public administration, an improvement of the civil servants’ capacity from central and local level to comply with the requests imposed by the European Union standards. In conformity with European Commission, the government has identified three fields where to make important progress in the subsequent period: public function, decentralization/ deconcentration of public services and the formulation process of the public politics.
