Summary/Abstract: The Council of Europe was founded well before the European Union, as an independent organization, its main activity being the protection of human rights, with special emphasis on guaranteeing minimum social rights for every citizen of the Member States, including Romania, starting in 1993. The accession of Romania to the Council of Europe has had the consequence of the national legal system integration in the organization’s legal order, resulting in the modification, adaptation of the main institutions of law for compliance, including the institution of administrative accountability. Both legal regulations and the ECHR practice have had major influences on the national law, forcing it to beneficial transformations, but the process of harmonisation, alignment to European standards has not been ended, actually the legal system still presenting important imperfections (the multiple adverse decisions of the European Court for the Romanian Government confirming this fact).
