Abstract:
The paper aims at analysing the way the model developed by European Union for the European regions can be applied to Romanian regions using a regional competitiveness definition pointed out in the 6th Periodic Report on regions. The paper presents in the beginning a short economic analysis of the Romanian regions. Afterwards, the analysis is focused on the regional competitiveness elements. The authors found out that the reciprocal connections between the development elements were in accordance as meaning and to a great extent as intensity to the values calculated for the European Union regions.
