Summary: | Romania’s accession to the North Atlantic Alliance and the European Union involved a long process of negotiation and legislative harmonization at the national level. For Romania, the membership to the two organizations represents an essential landmark in terms of ways of designing the national vision on national and regional security, marked by strategic continuity. In this context, Romania has been active and open in terms of legislative harmonization throughout all this time that has passed since accession, with a priority to enhance our geographical position. In addition to the undeniable benefits that NATO and EU membership bring to society, it also introduces vulnerabilities, so ensuring that national legislation is harmonized with the acquis communautaire must be a major, ongoing concern for all stakeholders, especially at the institutional level, where the responsibility for the elaboration and application of coherent policies in the field is concentrated. Keywords: legislation; acquis; politics; security; defence. |
