  • Ana BADIU

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present and discuss the main administrative and procedural dysfunctions, which have caused a poor absorption of European funds for agriculture and rural development. The paper has three parts. The first part presents the financial mechanisms through which the European funds are distributed and attracted. It also speaks of the European Union’s requests regarding the administrative-institutional system of the Romanian agriculture. The second part presents some statistical data regarding the absorption degree of European funds in Romania. The next section focuses on the dysfunctions identified by the theorists and gives a series of solutions aiming at resolving the administrative, procedural, as well as human resources problems.
