Juridical land circulation in Romania after joining to the European Union

Zaharia, Alexandrina

Private property is equally guaranteed and protected by law regardless the owner. The property right constrains the owner to respecting the norms on environment protection and ensuring good neighborhood. Private property land regardless its destination and its owner is and remains in the civil circuit. It can be sold, bought respecting the provisions of the law. European Union member state citizens, the stateless residing in one of the member states or in Romania as well as the legal person legally constituted can acquire land property rights with the same conditions as those provided for Romanian citizens and legal persons. Foreign citizens, the stateless and the legal persons pertaining to states other than the EUUs can acquire property rights on land according to international treatises on a reciprocity basis. Lands with or without constructions can be alienated and acquired through inter vivos juridical documents in authentic form under the sanction of nullity. All land owners, regardless their title, have an obligation to ensure subsoil, soil and terrestrial eco-systems protection, through adequate measures of husbandry, conservation, organization and arrangement of the territory. Failure to observe legal provisions concerning protection, use and amelioration of agricultural or forest lands, as well as environment protection draws civil, contravention or penal liability.
