Abstract: In recent years, the European Union has insisted that convicts should be deprived of illegally obtained goods as a result of a crime. The asset confiscation resulted from crimes is one of the most effective tools in the fight against organized crime. In order to ensure a common approach to confiscation within the EU, several EU legislative instruments have been adopted in recent years, among which there are the most common secondary EU legislation as decisions, directives and regulations. Thus, confiscation is a strategic priority in the EU's fight against organized crime and, as such, has been reflected in the EU's Internal Action Strategy. The purpose of this paper is to make an analysis on the EU legislation regarding the administration and recovery of assets resulting from crimes. Also, the qualitative research of this work will be conducted in order to underline how Romania, as an EU member state, adapted and change its domestic legation and which authorities and procedures were created in order to fulfill with main EU legislative requirements
