Summary/Abstract: Romania’s accession to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is, after joining NATO and the EU, the most ambitious foreign policy objective. Romania submitted its application for membership to the OECD in 2004, repeated in 2012 and 2016. The mission, objectives, areas of expertise of the organisation and the stages of accession are little known in Romania. The OECD Council Ministerial meeting in June 2022 adopted the roadmap setting out the terms, conditions and stages of our country’s accession process. The paper aims to present the objectives and role of the OECD, the mission, values and principles of the organisation, the internal organisation structure, the steps taken by Romania, the institutional framework, as well as the areas identified in the roadmap that will be the subject of the OECD Committees’ technical assessment.
