摘要：The extension of EU space towards the Eastern side of the continent implies identification of solutions and mechanisms for the interconnection of contiguous border systems, in sectors and fields that may represent the basic structure of crossbordering cooperation. Among these, environmental protection through natural parks that have a crossbordering extension may represent a solution for natural, anthropic and structure protection whose spatial manifestation can not be limited by a political decision and practically transposed in a state frontier. Setting a favourable framework for such a crossbordering system implies identification and interconnection with priority of the common legislative, administrative and human resources aspects. The external EU frontier correspondent to the interstatal Romanian-Ukrainian border offers the most favourable premises for delineation and implementation of such natural systems that may be superposed to the orographic units (in the Northern sector) or to those units modelled by Danube Delta and its meadow. Maramure ului Mountains Natural Park may represent a pioneerdom action in this ambit by its connection to Carpatica Biosphere Natural Park in the contiguous Ukrainian space, in the shape of a crossbordering geopark.
