摘要：European Union’s policy on territorial units for statistics (NUTS) regards implicitly the Romanian political space in search of a formula to generate systemic functionality. The current eight regions were too large and with a territorial structure and design more or less anchored in the geopolitical reality of EU’s peripheral space. Through this study we propose a version connected to the specific of the Romanian territorial and political space realities and to the contiguous space. In the new version, were proposed ten regions equivalent to NUTS2 structured on the existing counties. The new regions are characterized by enhanced functionality driven by optimal territory and population and especially traditional local and regional links.
