Summary/Abstract: The absorption difficulties usually arise in the Central and East-European area, and they are inflicted by a series of political issues, among which rank also the structure and organization differences or the incipient stage of development of local democracy. The absorption of structural funds increased rather slowly in time, due to the fact that it took them quite some time to create the necessary executive ability in order to check the projects, efficient implementing, ensuring the common financing and settling up the funds from EU after delivering the adequate documentation. The experiences of the new member states show that the absorption of the structural funds requires a solid preparation of central administration in order to establish national frameworks of solid policies, the coordination between ministries, national programmes well made and the implementing ability. The paper presents comparisons regarding the evaluation of the managing absorption capacity in Romania and in some countries that adhered and conclusions regarding the lessons that Romania has to learn.
