Abstract:

The study conducted through an interdisciplinary research will discuss some issues of utmost importance raised by the environmental policy requirements of the European Union, focusing primarily on water protection and management, starting from the framework directive no. 2000/60/CE, amended by directive no. 2455/2001/CE. This directive has underpinned a modern and holistic water policy within the European Union. We will also emphasizing how Romania meets the requirements imposed by the management program created for each geographical area. The new water management policies require rethinking the relationship between economic activities and the environment, the adoption of a new mentality regarding the nature, the natural elements of the earth, the development of environmental economics etc. Romania has signed important agreements, international conventions, has contracted structural funds to ensure water quality and the efficient use of resources. By signing and adopting these contracts, our country is focusing on an environmental management integrated in the European eco-economy model.
The stage of implementation of the European directives on water protection and management is part of a secondary section in the approach and will provide details on how Romania managed environmental investments and their impact on the Romanian economy in the period 2014-2020.

Keywords:

sustainable development, environmental programmes, water protection and management, balance of absorption, economic convergence.
