Summary/Abstract: The article presents the state of lobbying in Romania and its relation with the European Union. It presents solutions and suggestions that would improve Romanian lobbying in terms of better access to EU institutions and a deserved recognition. Knowing the instruments through which the Union manages and influences our lives will help Romania to grow in European importance, to better understand its granted duties. European lobbying can be one of the solutions to this promising future, only if we realize the impact it has over the European body and how it can be taken as example in national practice, without being confused with influence trafficking or corruption. Lobbying the European Union seems to be the least known practice among Romanian citizens. In support of this claim, we bring the argument of lack of thorough studies on national lobbying. Actual scientific research on this subject is limited, although lobbying is a topic surpassing the simple presence in European politics.
