Abstract: Romania's integration into the European Union is a complex, long-term process, entailing expectations and requiring contributions from the whole range of the Romanian society components; integration engenders opportunities, but also conditionalities, potential advantages, but also inevitable costs. Given its crucial importance, the quality of this process should be subjected to explicit consideration, from a pragmatic point of view, by formulating and operationalising valid answers, to the question as to "How do we get integrated?" At present, when one year has already elapsed since the adherence, as for the approach of Romania's European integration issues is concerned, certain inertial effects of the dominant logic of consistency with the accession criteria, peculiar to the candidate country previous status, are still manifest. As against the anchor of the integration quality, pertaining to the post-accession development, there is suggested, as an alternative, the adoption of the dominant logic of proactivity; accordingly, the main types of competences corresponding to the latter are highlighted: the strategic thinking competence, the negotiation and multi-actor decision-making competence, the inter-cultural communication competence, and the project-based, collaborative action competence.
