Romania has progressed, to a certain extent, in the last ten years, on the road from a centrally planned economy to a market-based economic system. However, reforms are far from being completed. Even worse, after joining the EU, on January 1st, 2007, the transformation of the Romanian economy has almost entirely ceased. This paper examines some causes of stagnation in reforms and presents some ways to resume and conclude this process that will facilitate the integration of Romania into the EU.
