Autor(i): Albulescu Claudiu Tiberiu
Rezumat: The causes of 2007Тs financial perturbations and mainly of the sub prime crisis are well known at the beginning of 2008. Nevertheless, the specialists pay little attention to capital markets global crisis and to its consequences. In this study, we demonstrate that we are already in the middle of this crisis and that all financial markets, and in particular the European financial markets, have been affected. The impact of the crisis upon European countries is different highlighting the fact that the financial markets integration process is far from being completed. The effects of this crisis on the real economy are less obvious at present at European level, but the economic growth forecasts became pessimistic. The financial crisis consequences in respect of the real economy will depend on the recovery capacity of the United States economy.

Titlul lucrarii: CONSIDERATIONS ON COMMERCIAL GLOBALIZATION (I Ц THE DYNAMICS OF THE COMMERCIAL FLOWS: EVOLUTIONS AND STRUCTURAL MODIFICATIONS)
Autor(i): Badulescu Daniel
Rezumat: Following the WW II, the global economic evolution is more and more marked by the relevant dynamic of the commercial trades that had become the core of the economic development both for the developed countries and for the emerging economies. The average annual growth rhythm of the international goods trade was practically double in comparison with that of the production (real GDP), both for the developed and for the developing countries. Thus, between 1960 and 2005, the rate of the commercial trades in the global GDP increased from 24% to 46%, practically doubling in the 45 years.

Titlul lucrarii: CONSIDERATIONS ON COMMERCIAL GLOBALIZATION (II Ц SPECIALIZATION AND COMPETITION Ц DEFINING FEATURES OF THE RECENT EVOLUTIONS)
Autor(i): Badulescu Daniel
Rezumat: There are three big tendencies identified in the commerce of manufactured products along the past decades. The first refers to the regional polarization of the international commerce. The second big tendency is the shift of the gravity centre of the international commerce from the Atlantic towards the Pacific, which triggers the increase of the power of the Far East and of its privileged connections with the North American market, to the detriment of the Western Europe. The third major tendency regards the regionalisation of the rapport centre-periphery, in other words the formation of specific zones of influence of each of those three major world economic powers (the US, the EU and Japan), respectively the Latin America, the Far East and South Asia, the Eastern Europe, the Near East and Africa for the EU.

Titlul lucrarii: ARE THE ROAD AND AIR MODES OF TRANSPORT THE PERFECT ONES AT EUROPEAN LEVEL?
Autor(i): Benea Ciprian-beniamin, Baciu Adrian
Rezumat: In this exposure, the contributors would wish to present the spectacular evolution of road transport in the European Union member countries, and its negative impact, too. The spectacular numberТs rising of private owned cars in Europe pose real problems to traffic, which cause congestion, pollution, and as a result great environmental problems. Airway transport is analyzed, too, from the perspective of congestion on the airports and the pollution which results from this. Another face of the coin is the high dependence on fossil fuels, which can hinder the future development of European countries. There is presented the solution: the future development of high speed trains, which would take a lot of people from the roads and from the skies, and as a result, would contribute to the congestionТs reducing, to the rise of the efficiency of transportation systems on European continent, and to the environment qualityТs improvement.

Rezumat: In this exposure we intend to make visible the situation in which global warming is given by road and air transport, how could be revitalized railways, and how high speed trains could become a preferred mode of transport. But there is manifesting an opposition to railway development, nurtured by different interests, ranking from governments themselves, to oil importing countries, oil exporting countries, oil companies with their colligate partners situated along the oil distribution chain. But, there could be identified some voices which could create themselves the possibility to speak lauder in order to promote railway transportation. The greens, NGOs, the epistemic communities, for example, could unite their force to make something in order to provide the framework for rail transportationТs development, and for road and air transport reduction, for the benefit of while humankind.

Autor(i): Budacia Elisabeta Andreea
Rezumat: Broadcasting in particular has seen remarkable change from the days of single-channel public broadcasting systems. The audiovisual “explosion” is a cultural, social and economic phenomenon of global dimension. The audiovisual sector forms an essential part of EuropeТs economic and cultural influence in the world. The fundamental principle of the UnionТs audiovisual policy is to provide for the free circulation of reception of trans frontier broadcasts. So the European audiovisual industry is likely to become a ber and more competitive player on the global scene. The future of public service broadcasting in Europe is increasingly challenged by unfavorable external factors, such as intensifying competition from commercial media, media concentrations, political and economic interests adversary to independent media, and by internal difficulties, such as cost ineffectiveness.

Autor(i): Butiseaca Alexandru, Sterian Gabriela
Rezumat: Both the EU and China stand to gain from our trade and economic partnership. If we are to recognise its full potential, closing EuropeТs doors to Chinese competition is not the answer. But to build and maintain political support for openness towards China, the benefits of engagement must be fully realised in Europe. China should open its own markets and ensure conditions of fair market competition. Adjusting to the competitive challenge and driving a fair bargain with China will be the central challenge of EU trade policy in the decade to come. A closer, ber strategic partnership is in the EUТs and ChinaТs interests. But with this comes an increase in responsibilities, and a need for openness which will require concerted action by both sides.

To help this process, it is useful that Сthe best practiceТ be set through Ђbenchmarkingї.We seem to enter an era when the competition rules will differ greatly from those existing in the past. If a company aims at obtaining such an advantage, it is crucial for the organization to revise the manner in which it grants values for the customers and decide whether it is time to reconfigure the chain in order to use the power of the other players in the production chain.

Rezumat: Competitive advantage is the result of a firmТs planned strategy. The strategic direction is realised through the ability of producing greater profits than the competitors. Many factors are equally important in producing a position of success. Some of these are industrial factors, others are resources and competencies of the single firm. The sum of all these forces results in creating and sustaining a successful position, in other words a competitive advantage. This study focuses on the evolution of the concept of competitive advantage from the study of the industrial environment to the analysis of inner resources such as knowledge and specific competencies embedded in firms.

Autor(i): Daea Alexandra Renate
Rezumat: The international financial system is unstable and subject to serious crises. The crises are a recurrent feature of the international economy and they represent market failures that not only imply some resource misallocations, much more, shocking setbacks in the growth prospects for the emerging economies, with serious implications for income distribution and living standards for their citizens. The founders of the Bretton Woods System 60 years ago were primarily concerned with orderly exchange rate adjustment in a world economy that was characterized by widespread restrictions on international capital mobility. In contrast, the rapid pace of financial globalization during recent years poses new challenges for the international monetary system.

Titlul lucrarii: ASPECTS REGARDING THE THEORY OF EFFICIENT MARKETS
Autor(i): Despa Radu, Coculescu Cristina, Folcut Ovidiu
Rezumat: From the beginning of the XX century, in a theoretical paper regarding stock speculation, Louis Bachelier shows that the prices of goods on the stock market fallow a random movement, drawing, from here the conclusion that speculation is an actual game, meaning that neither the buyers or the sellers don’t make in whole a net profit. Further statistic analysis seems to confirm the hypothesis of the random movement of exchange rates. So, it was appreciated that the successive changes in the prices at the stock market are practically independent, and the dependents are practically negligible. This means that the fact of knowing these correlations cannot be used to boost profits resulting from operations, the eventual supplemental earnings being canceled by costs. From these reasons, a conception regarding the price movements on the stock market, the so called theory of the efficient market.)

Titlul lucrarii: THE MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES AND THE EMERGING MARKETS
Autor(i): Diaconu Laura
Rezumat: The term of emerging markets defines the developing states that are an important source of cheap raw materials and labor force for the multinational companies, which are looking for competitive advantages. Consequently, the potential of these markets have determined important changes in the multinationalsТ actions that started, more and more, making foreign direct investments in developing states. But, relocating the activities outside the origin country, the firms are influenced and, meanwhile, are influencing the economical, political, social and cultural environment of the host states. Therefore, if the multinationalsТ decision of investing is taken only after a careful analysis of the opportunities and risks of the emerging markets, their activity may involve both benefits and costs for the local economy.

Titlul lucrarii: OPENNESS TO IMPORTS AND THE DYNAMIC BENEFITS
Autor(i): Dobre I. Claudia, Anghel Gabriela
Rezumat: Despite major reductions in trade barriers, protectionism continues to be a major drag on our economies and a barrier to lifting developing countries out of poverty. The political difficulty of dismantling protectionist mechanisms means they tend to persist long after they have ceased to be economically justified. With the benefits so clear, and the costs so substantial, why is there not a greater constituency for further progress in reducing barriers to trade? Why is the current round of trade talks in the WTO failing to make faster progress? Part of the answer lies in the mercantilist approach which some participants take to trade negotiations. While opening new export markets is rightly seen as a success, opening economies to imports is often (wrongly) seen as a СconcessionТ.

The financial globalization is the most obvious form for showing the globalization, the financial field proving to be the most dynamical field. The complex processes of deregulation and decompartment which give the essence of the financial globalization process brought a real transformation of the financial environment in what concerns the ampleness of financial flows, complexity and speed of transactions, diversification of financial instruments. Within this context, the financial markets more and more interdependent, characterized by a triple unit, of time, place and operations, brings forward the impact, almost a sudden one, of financial conditions, from a region to national financial markets around the globe.

Autor(i): Mustea-Serban Razvan, Ciocirlan Doinita, Folcut Ovidiu
Rezumat: The paper analyzes the procurement decision in leasing, considering two criteria: the Net Present Value (NPV) and the Total Net Present Cost (TNPC) of the financing sources. Basically, there are four major financing sources for an acquisition: the self-financing, the bank credit, the supplier credit and leasing. The calculation of the TNPC indicator considers not only the acquisition cost of the good(s), but some other elements as well: the expenses and fees specific for each transaction; the fiscal economy derived from the transaction;the profits tax;the actualization factor.This indicator considers the fiscal economy (fiscal savings) specific to each transaction, which represents a b argument for leasing. The structure of the expenses excludes the registration fees, the maintenance fees or the liability insurance, as they exist no matter the financing source.

Titlul lucrarii: HYBRID NETWORKS – THE LOGISTIC FUTURE IN EU
Autor(i): Neagoe Cristina
Rezumat: There is a trend for the increased use of the hybrid networks. The multi-mode networks are a specific example of hybrid networks, especially if these nodes are used in parallel and not sequentially.
Hybridization occurs at all levels: production, inventory and transport. Through a general mechanism of planning and control, shortcuts are created allowing flow strengthening and rapid and trustworthy delivery. These trends usually appear from the customerТs increasing requests, translated into the transporterТs request. Generally, the transport delivery stays behind and this is the case especially with the outdated inter-mode transport nodes which try only to optimize the flows; since they occur at every train station (in the case of railways), they are not capable to cope with these growing requests.A specific consequence of the hybrid network appearance is the stabilization over time of logistics processes. Better planning leads to smaller uncertainty and to the opportunity to use slower, but more effective transport methods.

In order to assure an appropriate choice as concern the economic concentration to be submitted at the assessment procedure each country has its competence to establish its turnover ceilings opening the procedure in accordance with the priorities of its own economic policy. As a final conclusion, we stress that economic concentration assessment and competition policy as a whole are very dynamic activities asking permanent legal and procedural adjustments in order to take appropriately into account economic interests of the country as well as the evolutions registered on regional and global level. This approach is the most valid in the case of Romania taking into account its recent accession to the European Union and its more and more important involvement in the regional and global cooperation.

Titlul lucrarii: THE ECONOMIC INTERSTATE INTEGRATION WITHIN THE POST-WAR AGE (EEC AND CMEA)
Autor(i): Buican Mariana
Rezumat: The Second World War caused damages in all the fields: economic, social, political, etc. in these circumstances, the evolution of the world economy and of many other countriesâ economies have been marked by reconstruction and/or transitional periods from the war economy to the peace economy.
In this context, there have been concerns for founding new organizations and international institutions having the role to contribute to set up and strengthen the economic relations between states as well as to support their social-economic development.
Such tendencies of interstate integration had also, besides the economic objectives, political and ideological connotations.
At regional and zonal level, the post-war world adopted almost unanimously the principle of interstate economic integration, which had the advantage of effort coordination for increasing social-economic development. This principle has been materialized in the foundation of some economic communities, which are generically called the interstate economic integration.
In the post war period two organizations of interstate integration have been founded> European Economic Community (ECC) and the Community for Mutual Economic Aid (CMEA).
Both organizations had as main objective the economic integration of the member sates, but the operating principles were completely different. As for EEC, the cooperation between the member sates relied on their availability to work together in order to get some common objectives but keeping their sovereignty.
On the other hand, CMEA was permanently concerned with the economic integration of the member states through the plan coordination of the economic development on a 5 year-period in a first stage, trying then the coordination of the prospective plans and in the last stage the planning of some activities previously established. Within this organization every thing was established and controlled by the headquarter, i.e. Moscow. In order to make the activity the activity efficient, structure changes have been made within the organization, but without any result.
Thus, CMEA ceased to exist after the communism fall in Eastern Europe and it was officially dissolved on June 28, 1998.
CEE was also subject to changes but with positive consequences, living nowadays too as the European Union. (EU).

Titlul lucrarii: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGYES
Autor(i): Ceausescu Aurelian Ionut
Rezumat: Sustainable development opens new horizons of research through taking into consideration of externalities (positive or negative) generated by human activities. Acknowledging the fact that the outputs of economic activities do not limit at outcomes strictly accounting aimed at by the present system of national accounts, the economic theory and practice are challenged to accomplish and to rethink the actual mechanisms.
Therefore, sustainability means a different matter than the simple preservation of the stock of capital, regarded as a simple and mechanic question. Introducing the future in the equation suppose, before anything else a certain anticipation and a planning of it.
And for the same reasons, nobody can conceive a sustainable development without the elements of the stock of capital and their structure not to register important qualitative leaps (and also qualitative).

Titlul lucrarii: THE ROLE OF ECONOMIC AND FISCAL INSTRUMENTS IN SOLVING THE ECONOMIC – ECOLOGICAL CONFLICT
Autor(i): Cobzaru Angelica
Rezumat: The environment is a present problem of high priority that needs immediate solutions. The preeminence of economics in the social and political life of the last decade, the concentration of activities for an immediate profit, has led to the ignorance of environmental aspects.
The year 1960 is considered the beginning of the environmental crisis when the environmental problems became of high priority as compared to other aspects of any other nature, be it political, economic or cultural. Thus, there has been developed worldwide a series of economic and fiscal key factors for the environment protection, with the purpose of facilitating the economic – environmental conflict solving process. The European Community whose member Romania is today has a very good environmental policy and other EU member can serve as a model as far as the environmental strategies are concerned.
This paper aims to study the evolution of environmental problems as well as the change of the old mentality The economic has priority into a new vision consisting in the priority of environmental problems. It is considered that conciliation between economic and environmental will succeed in getting the society out of the environmental crisis, but it will also bring changes on the economy, that is the implementation of a new type of development, the sustainable development. The paper presents particularly the economic and fiscal modalities meant to improve the environmental protection process both for the present and for the next generations.

Titlul lucrarii: PROSPECTS FOR THE AGRICULTURAL INCOME IN ROMANIA
Autor(i): Dachin Anca
Rezumat: The accession to EU represents a major economic and social opportunity for fundamental changes in micro and macro management and for reconsidering agriculture and rural areas in the process of sustainable development. Romania faces serious structural problems, such as the fragmentation of agricultural land and of production and the backward organization in most production units. They keep the low level of productivity, which was in 1994 (one of the best agricultural years) only 17.2 % of the average level of EU25. This productivity determines the low level of agricultural income. By having the option for subsistence agriculture, households in rural areas depend bly on the income from agriculture, while the own consumption often masks rural unemployment. Common Agricultural Policy measures will have direct impact on agricultural income. Rural development gives the chance to income diversification of households and to the absorbtion of excess employment from agriculture.

Rezumat: Human capital continues to become more important every year, since human intelligence, knowledge and creativity are fundamental for economic development. The explosion of the creative sector has been explained by the position that creativity and innovation started to occupy, as driving forces of economic growth. Research and development activities are generally classified as creative ones, but one has to take into consideration that many times their results are immaterial goods with economic value. Therefore, the activities of research and development can be considered part of the service sector. At international level, creativity is generally concentrated in cities, some of them being called žglobal talent magnets[1](Florida R, 2005) , that have a high value for the creativity index, being b attraction points for the creative class as well.

Autor(i): Dragomir Laurentiu, Barbu Mihail Catalin, Ciobanu George
Rezumat: The increasing productivity of production factors, due to progresses in science and technology is today the engine of economic growth. The economic theory managed to endogenize the technical progress, first as a result of the unintended activities of firms, then as the result of profit driven behaviour of economic agents. In globalization the stock of knowledge becomes available also to developing countries and the production technologies and their employment are more democratic regarding the availability. For the developing countries it still remains the problem of financial resources and availability. Developing new technologies has a prohibitive costs, at least until the moment in which large scale production allows for the reduction of costs. Long term economic growth will depend on the creation of global technology stock, including the leverage effect of sustained R&D. In this paper we will approach the progress of Romania in the area of knowledge base economy, especially regarding the policies in the R&D sector.

The Romanian membership to the economic community does not reduce the disparities between current development levels, on the contrary, under certain circumstances, it can aggravate the differences. The structural grant assistance offered by the European Union to Romania gives a chance in order to increase the speed of recuperating the disparities and to reduce the structural differences. This is even more valuable so as it takes over a considerable part of the economic efforts that should have been done on oneâs own account.

Titlul lucrarii: EUROPEAN žC QUEST: COMMUNITY, COMPETITIVENESS, CONVERGENCE, COHESION. WHAT SHOULD THE EU NEW COMER ROMANIANS AIM FOR?
Autor(i): Jora Octavian-Dragomir, Topan Mihai-Vladimir, Musetescu Radu-Cristian
Rezumat: The analyses carried out both at the centre (Brussels) and at the destination (member states) (ab)use of the principle that in public expenditure terms spent money means well-spent money and consider that absorption capacity equals economic performance (equated quite disputably with disparity reduction). The aggregate Keynesian perspective provides the main argument in favour of this interpretation: EU funds lead to GDP growth (economic growth). This vision overlooks the crucial importance of resource allocation micro-processes, private property and business activity. Therewith, the process of making European funds profitable and, consequently, the EU convergence feasible depends on the extent to which the absorption environment is structurally reformed. The cohesion paradox, which can be formulated like least underdeveloped regions have relatively higher chances to attract European funds, while disparities compared to relatively less developed regions might even intensify, can be broken only through multi-dimensional reform, immaterial to whether we speak about Romania, or Ireland, or Portugal, or Spain, or Greece.

Autor(i): Miru Oana
Rezumat: Following Romaniaâs accession to the European Union, the greatest challenge facing economic policy is compliance with the criteria for joining Economic and Monetary Union. The economic policy decision-makers must consider the convergence criteria, in order to be able to comply with them at the lowest possible cost. Romania is a little behind the other countries in what regards the convergence criteria, except of the government finances criteria. With the entrance in the Euro zone set to 2014, it has still got time to meet them, but the fact that it is among the last in the EU should be a worry.

Titlul lucrarii: DOES THE OPEN METHOD OF COORDINATION HELP DELIVERING LISBON?
Autor(i): Murea Maria Mirona
Rezumat: The EUâs economic ambition can be summarised by the main goal of the Lisbon Strategy (2000) and itsâ innitiators agreed upon the neccesity of a plan, to solve some issues that were left behind in the process of European integration (education, R&D, innovation, labour markets,welfare of consumers) at a time, when the depth of the integration process and the economic growth had the first lead. EUâs problems were related to an increased number of participants on the EU Labour Market and a slowdown in productivity (not necessarily implying a lower rate on investment in ITC). Therefore, new policies were needed, in areas like employment and competitiveness and also a requirement for an efficient Open Method of Coordination (OMC) between the member states and the European Commission, economic growth and jobs being vital for obtaining a sustainable development.

Titlul lucrarii: MOUNTAIN ENVIRONMENTS AND TOURISM – A EUROPEAN MODEL OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Autor(i): Nicula Virgil
Rezumat: Abstract: Tourism can be an important way of preserving the mountain communities, bringing revenue and jobs to village communities increasingly unable to survive on agriculture alone and where migration threatens their existence. The European model, through ber stakeholder involvement, may perform better than the corporate model in managing the destination on a responsible basis, since the community directly depends on it. Therefore, by taking into account the ecological and social dimensions of sustainability, the community will protect the surrounding natural environment. However, small communities and local rivalry may make joint decision-making difficult and may lead to a lack of cohesion in consistently promoting a destination. The development of a sustainable tourism means protecting the environmental tourism resources with the help of various actions taken by the locals.

Titlul lucrarii: THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY AND THE CHALLENGES OF THE EUROPEAN INTEGRATION
Autor(i): Petraru Simina Andreea
Rezumat: Textiles and ready-made clothes are considered to be one of the first products manufactured within a productive economy. They have constantly developed, adapting themselves to the requirements of companies with an ongoing interest in the overall development of mankind. Europe has always played an important part in the changing world of textile industry. The textile industry is one of the most general ones at world level. There are many challenges at European level and that is why effectiveness measures are continuously adopted.
The textile industry was one of the main fields that has adopted social dialogue at European level. The Committee for social dialogue in terms of textiles and ready-made clothes of the EU gathers periodically in order to discuss current matters on the political orientation of the EU in this field, launching and monitoring common projects for promoting contractual relationships in benefit of the Union, improving the labor organization, anticipating structural changes and adapting to the contractual frame, that allows the creation of new job opportunities and the access to permanent training. The EU has issued guidelines for labeling textile and ready-made products containing detailed information on the raw materials and the processing; this comes in addition to its concern towards the consumer needs, his social values and the protection of the environment.
Romania, being a member of the EU, and holding one of the most dynamic and competitive textile industry and ready-made products, is confronted with challenges in order to face the new competitors like China, Turkey, Bangladesh.
The new strategies for the Romanian textile fields should consider the improvement of the productsâ competitiveness, within the market economy, with minimal material and social costs and highest efficiency, at the same time with strengthening the position on current markets and conquering new markets.

Titlul lucrarii: EUROPEAN NEIGHBORHOOD POLICY: ROMANIA’S CONTRIBUTION TO THE EUâS NEW SHAPE
Autor(i): Ploae Catalin
Rezumat: On 1st of January 2007 the EU welcomed two new Member States and 30 million people, when Bulgaria and Romania joined the European Union. This completed the EUâs historic fifth round of enlargement peacefully reuniting Western and Eastern Europe after decades of division. The challenge was not to close gates but to meet new frontiers. We need a positive but practical vision for a better Europe. What are, then, the new frontiers of Europe?
European borders are characterized by alternating hard and soft forms on one axis and open and closed forms on another. Europe’s internal national borders are not merely modified by the growing significance of a European external frontier, but both internal and external borders are influenced by the wider global context. Enlargement policy has allowed the EU to expand its frontiers both economically and politically. The first and foremost frontier, and the most urgent challenge for Europe, is to rebuild confidence in the European economy. The internal market has liberalised European economies and created the biggest economic area in the world, reaching 500 million consumers once Bulgaria and Romania have joined the European family.

The revival of regional protectionism measures meets the case of a commercial warfare. In the largest integrated market, investors must play by strict rules, so that a balance between productivity and risk should be kept. The elasticity in replacing the goods interchanged across local areas commensurate with the frequency of intra-regional and extra-regional goods replacement by consumers, depending on how prices evolve. The challenge of cross-area regional integration commercial warfare might lessen to the extent that these few areas are b enough to build their global commercial relationships upon cooperative arrangements rather than conflict-wise solutions.

Titlul lucrarii: THE PRICE AND EXCHANGE RATE STABILITY IN ROMANIA, AN ESSENTIAL CONDITION TO JOIN THE EURO ZONE
Autor(i): Rujan Ovidiu
Rezumat: Analysing the last yearsâ developments in the national economy, one could assert that there is a possibility for Romania to join the Euro zone in the perspective of 2014. The massive capital entries over the last years have stimulated the development of the economy, by supporting the real convergence and contributing this way to a decrease in the short-term inflation pressures throughout the appreciation effects of the exchange rate. An exchange rate appreciation usually erodes the external competitivity of an economy and amplifies the external unbalances, which result in a currency depreciation and at the end, in an even greater rate of inflation. As a consequence, the remaining main problem to solve is the diminution of the inflation conditioned by structural reforms so that the salariesâ growth to follow that of the labor productivity at national level and not the opposite way. Once the inflation decrease consolidated, favourable conditions to accomplish the nominal convergence criteria regarding the long-term interest rate and the stability of the exchange rate will be thus created. This is the reason why the monetary policy should be accompanied for now by a prudent fiscal policy meant to insure the sustainability of the public finances.

Rezumat: In the European Union regions are territorial units of medium size, created with the purpose to absorb efficiently the European Union funds for regional development and to interpret and research the regional statistics. In Romania there are 8 development regions. The regional development of tourism must be a sustainable one. The analysis of some indicators show that after a long period when the tourism had a descendent curve, in the last years this has had a positive evolution in almost all regions. The tourism may become an important component of the economy, which can determine important mutations in the territorial field, contributing to the social-economic growth of a region. In the last years it is noticed a small growth of the tourism, tendency expected in the future, too.

This feature may be seen both from the average productions of the main agricultural cultures and from the average yield of zootechnics.
The causes are multiple, ranging from the excessive land crumbling, agricultural exploitations that produce mainly for self-consumption, the lack of professional training of many farmers and the insufficiency of agricultural consultancy and of implementation of research results into production.

Rezumat: For the new member states of the European Union, the integration of the agro-alimentary and rural sector has proved to be one of the most difficult and sensitive issues of the accession trial, and Romania is no exception from the rule. However, the 2 year experience of the new EU member states has proved that such integration has considerably sped reforms and has triggered a re-organization process of the agro-alimentary and rural sector, with multiple positive aspects.
We have to be aware that only investments in the agro-alimentary industry create the grounds to increase the quality standards and the foodâs safety as per the requirements provided by international markets. Measures and technical-economic actions must be implemented which would lead to: decrease of negative effects of the restrictive production factors and use of performing technologies for animal and plant production.

Autor(i): Szarka Arpad
Rezumat: Nowadays, the migration of active labour force is a phenomenon with a rapid dynamics, generated mainly by globalization.
The international migration is appreciated to imply about 200 million persons, which is double than 25 years ago. The migration is determined by economical, social and political causes. The migration of active labour force in Romania registered in the Community Countries reaches low levels, about 200.000 person, but the illegal one is appreciated to reach 1.7-2 milion persons.
The effects of migration are mainly due to: the loss of the tax payer – active labour force formed in Romania, the weakening of the social solidarity in the social security system, and in the same time, its increase in the destination countries , the remittance of some important amounts of money in the origin countries, the contact with other economical, social, cultural models.
The evolution of remittance in the world is very dynamic, in 2007 it is said to be about 250 billion dollars, from which 7,1 billion euro for our country, compared to 9,1 billion euro representing direct investments.

Rezumat: The Lisbon and Gothenburg European Councils defined a broad strategy to increase the competitiveness of the Union and achieve sustainable growth. Accordingly, during the 2000-2006 programming period, the various cohesion policy instruments – primarily the Structural Funds – contributed, directly or indirectly, to the Lisbon strategy. They had a major impact on the competitiveness of the regions and helped achieve substantial improvements in the living conditions of their populations. At the March 2005 European Council, the Lisbon Strategy was renewed with the adoption of the partnership for growth and jobs. In line with this strategy, cohesion policy must be focused on promoting sustainable growth, competitiveness and jobs. On the basis of these priorities, the Strategic Guidelines for 2007-2013 aim to: make Europe and its regions more attractive places to invest and work; improve knowledge and innovation; create more and better jobs; and take account of the territorial dimension of cohesion policy.

Rezumat: Despite considerable progress in terms of macroeconomic performance, Romaniaâs international rankings on competitiveness suggest several weaknesses, especially related to market efficiency, business sophistication, education, technology readiness and innovation. Revealed Comparative Advantage and Intra-Industry Trade analyses outline that the Romanian economy is still labor intensive, thus needing capital infusion in order to increase its competitiveness within the EU. In order to benefit from the EU cohesion policy, Romania has adopted The Sectoral Operational Programme Increase of Economic Competitiveness, which is one of the seven instruments (operational programmes) adopted by Romania and under the Convergence objective; the programme sets out to achieve the priorities of the National Strategic Reference Framework, derived from the National Development Plan 2007 – 2013, which aims to strengthen the strategic focus of the Economic and Social Cohesion policies across Romania, and to enhance economic competitiveness in Romania.

Titlul lucrarii: THE EUâS COSTS OF SOCIOECONOMIC HEALTH GAPS
Autor(i): Unita Lucian
Rezumat: During the past two decades, socioeconomic inequalities in health have increasingly been recognized as an important public health issue throughout Europe. As a result, there has been a considerable research effort which has permitted the emphasis of academic research to gradually shift from description to explanation. And as a consequence of that, entry-points for interventions and policies have been identified, providing the building-blocks with which policy-makers and practitioners have begun to design strategies to reduce socioeconomic inequalities in health. Although relatively little is known yet about the effectiveness of these strategies, it is possible to make some educated guesses about their potential impact on the economic implications of health inequalities in the European Union. And this way, investing in health should not only be seen as a cost to society, but also as a potential driver of economic growth.

Titlul lucrarii: THE EUâS HEALTH POLICY NEW STRATEGY – A LINK BETWEEN HEALTH AND ECONOMIC PROSPERITY
Autor(i): Unita Lucian
Rezumat: Health is an important priority for Europeans. We expect to be protected against illness and disease. We want to bring up our children in a healthy environment, and demand that our workplace is safe and hygienic. When travelling within the European Union, we need access to reliable and high-quality health advice and assistance. The Member States have a responsibility to ensure that these concerns are reflected in their policies, but, although the EU doesn’t usually intend to make health policy but in practice other policies often to do with the union’s origins as a free market affect health care. Thus, the EU complements the national health policies and has a vital role to play through the obligations placed on it by the European Treaties, bringing European added value through its action to the EU sustainable development strategy. For these reasons, the present paper will focus on the EUâs Health Policy and the related strategies to achieve its goals.

Rezumat: Among the anti-competitive practices sanctioned by competition law, cartel is the most harmful to the competitive environment. Cartel participation is sanctioned both by national and community legislation with large fines, which can reach up to 10% of the turnover of the companies involved. In order to facilitate the detection of cartels, which are, by definition, secret agreements, instructions promoting a leniency program were elaborated at European Commission level, encouraging the participants to provide information regarding the existence of a cartel. It is expected that the large fines applied in cartel cases will increase the attractiveness of the leniency program and, implicitly, to the detection of an even greater number of such practices.

It seems that cultures, traditions and interests are more and more interconnected as societies become increasingly multicultural.

The success or the failure of a large or small and middle-sized enterprise depends, in a great extent, of how important it is nowadays to speak several foreign languages. Language skills are increasingly attractive to business and industry and valuable to students entering an ever more international and global workplace. Business English is also very important for the todayТs new business environment

Titlul lucrarii: N¦OLOGISMES ¦CONOMIQUES DANS LA PRESSE ITALIENNE DТINFORMATION G¦N¦RALE
Autor(i): Catarig Andra Teodora
Rezumat: The written press is a continuously evolving organism, playing an important part in spreading the linguistic patterns. It is the privileged support of innovation, because it presents accurate facts, takes over the innovations from the specialized language and meanwhile it creates new words out of the necessity of naming the new objects, concepts and phenomena, but even out of stylistic reason or out of their desire to captivate the readers.
In the present paper we define our goal as being the identification and the description of neologisms present in the economic section of two Italian daily newspapers of general interest, Corriere della Sera and La Repubblica. This section defines itself through a great number of neologisms in comparison to the other sections. Some of them have immediate success and enter the common language, being immediately recorded in the dictionary; others are ephemeral, closely connected to certain events with no implications and that donТt start another series of events.

Autor(i): Horea Ioana
Rezumat: Based on the direct and everyday work in class, this paper brings into debate a problem noticed with the new generations of students joining the English language classes of non-philological profile. Because certain signs of misunderstanding as for the scope of the acknowledgement provided by the internationally language certificates, and especially concerning its appliance within the university system, have been noticed with the freshmen of the latest years, a thorough investigation of the matter seemed appropriate. It revealed that careful consideration should be given to the needs of those who registered in, sat for and passed a recognised examination in English, taking into account the set of expectations some of them had mistakenly assumed.

Titlul lucrarii: THE STYLE IN THE LANGUAGE OF PROMOTIONAL LITERATURE
Autor(i): Pop Anamaria Mirabela
Rezumat: Advertising is an inevitable part of the modern capitalist consumer society whose outstanding feature is its competitive fight. The aim of advertising is to be catchy and easy to remember. Advertisers use language quite distinctively: there are advantages in making bizarre and controversial statements in unusual ways as well as communicating with people using simple, straightforward language. Copy-writers are well-known for playing with words and manipulating or distorting their everyday meanings. They break the rules of language for effect, use words out of context and even make up new ones.

Titlul lucrarii: THE USE OF WORDPLAY AND IDIOMS IN BRANDS
Autor(i): Pop Anamaria Mirabela
Rezumat: English advertising exploits from the high adaptability of the English language which enables the creators of advertisements to use word puns, figurative language, and to mix individual styles and types of texts. Brands have an extraordinary capacity to compact complex and subtle nuances of differences in values, beliefs and desires. Combining the history of a particular brand with careful marketing manipulation of its current ideological profile as demonstrated in advertisements, sponsorship, use by high-profile celebrities etc., a brand becomes a powerful instrument.

Titlul lucrarii: PROJECTS Ц NEW METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES IN THE NEW MILLENIUM
Autor(i): Sim Monica Ariana
Rezumat: Considering English as the global language of science, technology, and international relations, many countries around the world consider the teaching of English a major educational priority (Crystal 1997; McKay 2000). However, English as a Foreign Language (EFL) is often taught under unfavorable conditions, and, as a result, high school graduates are not always competent users of English. One important alternative is to take advantage of the continuing advances in multimedia technology and to make an effort to integrate this technology with in-class instruction. In this paper I will try to focus on new methods of teaching English that can be used to complement and reinforce traditional in-class instruction Ц including multimedia projects

Titlul lucrarii: THE USE OF METAPHORS IN TEACHING STUDENTS OF ECONOMICS
Autor(i): Vasiloaia Mihaela, Drugus Liviu
Rezumat: As in many other fields, English has increasingly become the universal language of the economic field, which means that professional and academic economists have to publish in English in order to further their careers. This demand for English (English for Special Purposes) for economics and business is inherent in the nature of business management. Even more, some undergraduate and graduate economics students seeking to continue their education or to be employed in foreign institutions have increased their demand for ESP courses. Thus, this study of metaphors in economic texts is useful and takes advantage of rhetorical thinking as a didactic tool to simplify what would otherwise be sometimes too complex for students to understand.
