The author examines the development regions in Romania, the way these regions cover the problems of those living within their limits. Besides describing the current ones, the study tries to give advice for delimiting new regions. It states that within the current regions, inequalities are considerable: the territories falling within particular regions are not homogenous from many points of view. Even though there is no prescribed model in the EU for delimiting regions, the local, economic and social problems of certain territories have to be taken into account when setting the limits of such NUTS regions of various levels, in order for them to be homogenous.
