Summary/Abstract: Over the past five decades there have been regionalization bills in Europe, more or less successful. The representative ones for the subject in question are those elaborated in Francophile and Francophone countries such as: the Bill concerning the Regionalization of France (April 27th 1969); The Egmont Pact, Belgium (May 24th 1977); the Regionalization of Poland, coordinated by Jerzy Buzek (January 1999); the Bill regarding the Regionalization of Romania (2013). In 2013 Romania, the division of the national territory in eight regions has some objectives that seem to be taken from the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The Gaullist pattern of regionalization and the manner in which it operationalizes the sharing of competences between regions and departments, the common elements between the current Romanian political scene and the Belgian Egmont Pact, the supremacy of some cities that are apparently more insignificant to the detriment of others according to the Polish model, all these represent problematic aspects that demand pertinent solutions within the project of regionalization of Romania.
