Summary/Abstract: Local autonomy or local self-government is a fundamental principle behind the organization and functioning of local public administration focuses on a constitutional article 120 which stipulates that „public administration in territorial-administrative units is based on principles of local autonomy, decentralization and deconcentration of public services”. Recalling the provisions of Article 3 of the European Charter of Local Self-Government, adopted in Strasbourg on October 15, 1985, Law no. 215/2001 stipulates in Article 3: „The local autonomy is understood the right and effective capacity of local authorities to resolve and manage, on behalf of local interest and that is public affairs”. In Article 4 of the law is established specifying the content of local autonomy that is only administrative and financial organization, functioning skills, competence and management resources that belong to the territorial administrative units. Therefore, local autonomy should not be confused with absolute independence, with a total isolation of local authorities towards the central state administration. She can take the meaning of independence granted to a political collectivity. Local authorities are embedded material (the territory) legal and sovereign state, which ensures the autonomy needed to manage their specific affairs, but only insofar as they are integrated into state law
