Abstract

The cooperative sector is regarded as relatively new despite its 200 years old history. It has been developing on its own no matter the political regime or the philosophical trends thorough the people who understood it as a help in their economic and social development. In recent years, the EU has been promoting it as a mean of achieving rural development. In order to do that, some regulations and strategies regarding the agricultural cooperative sector have been issued for both supporting and controlling it. These regulations are constantly analysed and modified. The member states are supposed to transpose these regulations in order to suit their best interests and national specificities, and as it will be shown in this paper, Romania has done a poor job in this matter. Even so, the time is not lost, some new opportunities and approaches may be taken into consideration for further readjustments of the Romanian cooperative sector.
