Taking in consideration the way how this phenomenon affects the economy and the process of taking decisions in the public and private life , there is no doubt regarding the fact that the damages resulting from corruption exceed the individual interests acquired as a result of corrupt actions. The fight against the corruption must constitute one of the main points on Romania’s public agenda, with a view of aligning to normality from a political, economical and social point of view, and also to the effective harmonization of the Romanian society with the European practice. The corruption is being perceived moreover like a severe and dangerous phenomenon undermining the force and the authority structures, deceiving the citizen’s expectations concerning the maintenance of a social equity climate that can provide equal chances for everyone, but favoring the progress of certain groups and persons. The causes that generate this phenomenon are different from a country to another, from a region to another, generating specific forms of manifestation.
