Popis: Romania succeeded, despite all of the obstacles encountered, to enter the European Union, facing a transformation process before and after the exact moment of the adhesion. The main criterion: a higher level of democracy. The main method of completing this criterion: shaping of the decision making process. Before entering Europe, Romania was starting to experience a process that could be named Europeanization, a change that starts at the top and on the paper, by according the legislation to the European standards and implementing it. Therefore, before anything, the relations between the decisive authorities are being affected, especially those between the legislative and the executive bodies. The goal of this paper is to analyze these very effects of Europeanization upon the relations between executive and legislative in Romania, not only direct, but also indirect, not only intended, but also unexpected, without having the pretension of covering up all the aspects of the issue.
