This paper is trying to present in a modern manner the absorption of structural funds in Romania\nvs Central Eastern European countries. The methodology that we used combines quantitative\nmethods with qualitative research. It was made a detailed presentation on the amounts allocated,\ncontracted and paid in Romania and Central-Eastern European states. The EU allocated amount per\ncapita is 2504 Eur in the Czech Republic (population 10,5 mil. Inhabitants) and at the opposite site\nis Romania with 1102 Eur(population 21,4 mil. inhabitants).We also addressed issues related to\nthe perception of beneficiaries on the absorption of structural funds, problems, recommendations,\nand expectations. While most new member states focus on OP Transport and OP Environment, in\nRomania the situation has remained unchanged each year, that is Regional Operational Program\nhas top priority ahead of any operational program. The CEE allocated amount is 209,1 bil. Eur, the\ncontracted amounts are 85% and the payments are 44%. The highest contacted amounts are in\nBulgaria and Latvia and the highest payments are in Estonia and Lithuania (59%).
