Abstract: Despite the perceived role of the EU as being a motor of democracy in Europe and an international force recognized for its transparency and integrity, this complex social, political and economic entity still faces the dilemma of an asymmetrical manner of implementation of the common economic policies, mainly the regional policy. Our article focuses on regional disparities, that seem to define the Union, by comparing the experiences of two former communist countries, Poland and Romania. We start from presenting the economic advantages and disadvantages of EU membership from the perspective of a new member state, we continue with some insights on the regional economic disparities within the EU, and we sketch two country profiles, based on the amount of and the manner in which European funds have been absorbed and have impacted them.
