ECONOMIC REQUIREMENTS FOR ROMANIA’S SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Journal Title: Present Environment and Sustainable Development - Year 2009, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Starting from the drawbacks of traditional economic growth, the article highlights the current problems of sustainable development in the European area. The author considers that EU environmental requirements must be balanced against our country’s potential to apply the principle of ecological responsibility. Furthermore, the European character of sustainable development does not cancel out the national dimensions of this process. In this context, we identify the main economic requirements for Romania’s sustainable development, and we analyse the possibility of meeting the objectives assumed through the National Strategy for Sustainable Development
