Abstract:
The paper aims to emphasize how Romania can improve its measures for protecting the national forest fund through environmental policies and strategies. The method used is the comparative one of data and reports from Romania, the European Union, Sweden and Austria. It follows from the analysis of statistical data, strategies, and European forest-related regulations that their implementation at the national level largely determines the effectiveness of European environmental policies. One of the solutions resulting from the analysis is to implement the European strategies coherently and fully, corroborated with the efficiency of the legal regime and the sanctions in the forestry field.
