Following the EU membership, Romania has focused on infrastructure that was needed to access the funds, as if it forgot about most of the agricultural working that are completely cut out from the market mechanisms. The European funds are instruments of the market mechanism used for the development and demand of a modern agricultural market, which is able to satisfy the needs of a European circuit of agricultural products, within a modern rural development. Even if the community fund flow could partially solve the financial problem, the main focus of the Romanian agriculture is to define the concept of organizing and making agriculture work. Thus, it would be a mistake to consider the possibility of accessing community funds as a main element to profit from the EU accession, because this will contribute to the solving some due issues of the rural environment development. The present stage, which is called post-accession, imposes a change of thought and method in the process of conceiving the agricultural policy. We need to jump from the careful and shy survival policy to the brave and bold policy of conquering foreign markets.
