Abstract: The long term objective of the regional development policy at European level is to reduce regional disparities. Aiming to bring its own contribution, Romania differentially allocated amounts from ERDF and from the State budget for the less developed regions. This however was not reflected in the counties, the local authorities having a low financial and technical capacity, which was decisive in accessing funds, the counties with higher total or own income being those that have managed to attract more funds. The paper presents the situation of the utilisation of ERDF and of the national funds related to 4 counties, 2 of the most developed, Cluj and Brasov and 2 of the least developed, Vaslui and Giurgiu, in order to improve the educational and social infrastructure.
