Although highly beneficial from a pragmatic point of view, Romania's accession in the European Union is problematic, especially in the long run and from a theoretical perspective. In the short run, adoption of european model emphasizes the advantages of economic integration. In the long run however, political considerations can dominate economic liberties.Motto: "Frankfurt, Bremen, Hamburg, Luebeck are large and brilliant, and their impact on the prosperity of Germany is incalculable. Yet, would they remain what they are if they were to lose their independence and be incorporated?" (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Maximen und Reflexionen, 1828).
