The Local Public Administration towards the Measurements of Sustainability and the Cross-Border Cooperation

The execution of the reform in the public administration and its foundation on the democratic principles of the rule of law is an essential element of the economic-social reform in Romania. For this we have at hand the legal regulations of the European Charter from Torremolinos (May 20, 1983, Spain) and the Territorial Agenda of the U.E. (Leipzig, May 24-25, 2007). Those consist that territorial cohesion envisages a more special type of relationship, based on solidarity, such as solidarity between territories and regions, or between local and regional. This, according to the aforementioned regulations, should involve ensuring better living conditions and quality of life, oriented towards local and regional potential, regardless of where people live - either in the area of central Europe or on the outskirts of Europe. In this paper, we will start from Europe’s model, from its regions, from the possible cohesion between its territories, and we will focus mainly on the resources available to the cohesion of the inhabited areas of Romania. That is why, this paper attempts to present how, using the principles of organizing local authorities and authorities, means of cross-border cooperation can be established that will lead to a harmonization of interstate.
