摘要：The integration of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) countries into the European Union is supposed tobring them significant benefits. Along with the effects coming from changes in tariffs, accession to the EUinternal market and free labor movement on GDP, consumption and terms of trade, the absorption of EUfunds could help the process of convergence and catching up. Discussing the results of two "extreme"scenarios (full absorption of funds or non absorption at all, assumptions considered as not realistic) bythe application of HEROM model for Romania, the study attempts to assess the impact of EU structuralfunds on foreign trade development, under the circumstances of different absorption rates, finding astronger impact on exports compared with imports. However, adverse effects of the current internationalfinancial crisis could occur, affecting also the prospects for the Romanian economy
