Abstract
Regionalisation is a continous need to ensure that all the cities can invest in mentaining and improving the infrastructure in order to have, to get quality services at EU standards. This aspect involves approving and implementing adecvate developing strategies and policies, oriented to fulfiling the real needs of the population, takeing into consideration that all the people should afford these services.
Rezumat Regionalizarea reprezintă o nevoie permanentă de a se asigura faptul că toate oraşele pot investi în întreţinerea şi modernizarea infrastructurii lor cu scopul de a oferi servicii bune, capabile să atingă standardele UE. Acest lucru necesită adoptarea şi implementarea unori politici de dezvoltare elaborate corespunzător, concentrate pe satisfacerea nevoilor reale ale populaţiei, în cazul în care serviciile urmează a deveni accesibile tuturor.

5. OPPORTUNITY OF INVESTING IN INFRASTRUCTURE OF PUBLIC SERVICES
UTILITIES DEVELOPMENT
According to SOP priority axes, the opportunity of investments in infrastructure development of
these services is summarized below.1
Placement of sewage problems and water in first position is justified by the fact that only 65% of the
population has access to public water and sewer. In some areas of Romania water does not meet the
quality parameters for drinking and sanitation and wastewater treatment do not exist.
The estimated costs to comply with European standards in the water sector are estimated to 19 billion
by 2018, of which 9 billion just for the period 2007-2013.
For this reason this priority axis will benefit most from the European SOP (60%). Investments look for
the expansion and modernization of water and sanitation, construction and upgrading of treatment
plants and water efficient public services and sanitation.
These investments will result in regional projects that will focus, initially, the water needs of urban areas
where environmental impact is increased and the population is large.
Following these investments, public access to these utilities will increase respectively from 65% today to
70% (target set in SOP).
In this context, the process of regionalization is essential for compliance with the acquis communautaire
in the water / waste water because water companies are required to achieve the investment experience
and guarantee operations.
The purpose of the regionalization of water services, a process initiated by the Romanian authorities
and funded from pre-accession programs (PHARE and ISPA) is to support beneficiaries (associations of
municipalities and corporations) in building water and wastewater service operators and local authority
capacity building for effective monitoring of their activities.
Without funding, most small operators will not be able to comply with the acquis communautaire.
Consequently, there is an incentive for different operators to ensure the creation of regional operators
and to counteract any political and administrative difficulties.

Municipal waste management has proved to be another major problem. Most of the municipalities have
practically waste landfill. Currently, municipal waste are stored in bulk, in deposits which do not comply
with EU environmental rules.
Equally, low access to waste services and reduced opportunities for recycling / recovery of waste is
more reason to encourage substantial investments in this sector.
The purpose of these investments is the grow of investors and visitors attractiveness for different areas
and also to reduce the harmful effects of contaminated areas to ensure adequate living conditions for
local communities.
These investments aim is to create integrated systems of waste management at regional level
(purchase of containers for selective collection, garbage, sorting facilities, composting and recycling,
landfill construction at European standards, closure of old, non-compliant).
Thus, these investments help protect the environment by reducing the negative impact on human
health.
Emissions of pollutants related to central heating systems is one of the main sources of air pollution in
many cities.
As a result, investments are needed in this sector to reduce negative impacts on the environment and
human health. It will pay particular attention to activities in order to modernize power plants and to
reduce emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere.
This priority contributes to the fulfillment by Romania of the obligations assumed in the air quality sector
and industrial pollution control, especially in terms of commitments to reduce emissions into the
atmosphere.

6. CONCLUZIONS
Finally we can say that there is a constant need to ensure that all cities can invest in maintenance and
upgrading their infrastructure in order to provide good service, able to reach EU standards.
This requires the adoption and implementation of development strategies and policies designed
properly, focused on real needs of the population, where services will become accessible to all.
