Abstract

With EU accession, Romania will follow the development of convergence with EU policies both in real terms and as absolute values. The process of reducing disparities in Romania is maintaining sustained growth rates during 2007 - 2013, keeping at the same time, macroeconomic equilibrium levels more stable. The determining factor for economic growth, on the open market a competitor, is to increase economic competitiveness. In addition, exploitation of competitive advantages must be a permanent objective, taking into account both European trends, and the challenges of globalization. Therefore, increasing competitiveness should not be viewed as a process of exploitation of short-term advantages (eg low cost of labor), but as a process of building an economic structure based on capital investment and research processes, development and innovation. In other words, articulating a vision of convergence on medium and long term need to consider developing a knowledge-based economy. Although substantial progress in recent years, Romania has serious gaps in competitiveness in relation to the Western and Central Europe. The reasons for this sluggishness can be found in all the elements that determine the competitive ability. All are translated, ultimately, in a low productivity, which defines competitiveness problem in Romania. Transalpina road is the highest road in Romania and even the entire chain of the Carpathian Mountains, both in Romania and beyond, reaching maximum altitude 2145 m in Step Urdele (Transfăgărăşan, more commonly known, is the second road in Romania high altitude, climb to 2042 meters). Parang Mountains cross the road from N to S is parallel to the Olt Valley Jiu Valley being placed between them. Although higher than the oldest and most beautiful Transfagarasan, is less known because Transalpina, although it is classified national road DN 67C (part), was never paved until 2009. Transalpina was built by the Roman armies on their way to Sarmisegetusa, paved with stone by King Charles II after the Germans in 1930 and reablitata World War II when it was forgotten. That was forgotten and became a hard way to go Transalpina helped to keep untouched wilderness and charm that few places in the country we have. It is one of the few roads in the country that can be reached by car and even the clouds above them.
