ABSTRACT: The collapse of the communist regime in Romania, in December 1989,
determined, at a very short time, the disappearance of the co-operative sector, once Law 18
(Land Law) was enforced in February 1991, which initiated the land ownership reform. In
this context, the re-activation or more concretely, the reconfiguration of a new co-operative
sector in full process of recognition and reconstitution of the private land ownership seemed
impossible to achieve.

Keywords: co-operative sector, Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), European-type co-operative,
