218Sustainable Development strategy of business environment from Dolj, Olt, Pleven, Vidin and Montana regionFrom the perspective of the tourism sector, position the cross bor<strong>de</strong>r region can be either from competitivepositions (the potential competing for Romania tourism countries are: Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia andMontenegro, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Ukraine) or cooperation positions - Joint promotionof cross-bor<strong>de</strong>r tourism potential. National policy as expressed in the National Development Plan i<strong>de</strong>ntifiestourism as a priority sector of national economy and an important factor in regional <strong>de</strong>velopment and ruralareas. The tourism sector is a complex industry that involves a substantial and permanent investment in humancapital.Research - Development - InnovationAccording to the study Reindustrializarea Romania: policy and strategy 26 “Romania is among countrieswith the lowest rate of investment in this area, only 0.58% in 2008. The situation worsened in 2009 when publicexpenditure returned to the level existing before the boom, respectively 0.2% of GDP. Weak contribution ofthe private sector (more than 30% of the total investment in research - <strong>de</strong>elopment) is explained by the typeof competition in the domestic market based on price rather than innovation. In addition public research fundsare used ineffective because they fail to create a spread effect in the private sector. There is also a bad connectionbetween aca<strong>de</strong>mic research and industrial applications. As regards main contribution comes from theEU business sector, unlike Romania private nonprofit which also invests in research and <strong>de</strong>velopment”.At regional level, one of the main conditions for successful <strong>de</strong>velopment is seeking permanent solutionsto economic units for a better market position. Diversification of production and especially promoting technologicalnovelty in a company is mainly due to the following factors:• the need for storage or to overcome market position occupied;• Alignment with industrial and social policies at national or European level;• The need to compensate for lower or higher prices of raw materials supply;To mention the importance of promoting intellectual property rights as an incentive particularly relevantfor investments in innovation, so that they can achieve cost recovery invested.As regards the agriculture in the region concerned, may be consi<strong>de</strong>red as an advantage available to fuciarfund that the wo counties have at the moment, and the ability to use irrigation systems to achieve greaterproductivity of crops.According to studies conducted by the National Administration of land reclamation, by applying irrigation,agricultural production increased on average by 30-50%, leading to increased incomes in agriculture. Irrigationis a major factor in obtaining high productions and relatively stable from year to year with favorable implicationsfor food security of the population and create export availabilities of agricultural products. Accordingto available data for 2010, national organizations were established for public improvements on a land area of ​1.094 million hectares (424 organizations for irrigation water users for drainage, two organizations drainage -irrigation, 7 organizations with irrigations and drainage activities ). There were authorized three fe<strong>de</strong>rations ofwater users organizations for irrigation with a territory covering 18 000 hectares.Through Dolj County County is second after Braila in terms of county of irrigation facilities, according toLand Improvements National Administration. 27At the county level are working 3 fe<strong>de</strong>rations irrigation water users organizations - Calafat, Moţăţei andSegarcea. In Olt County are working fe<strong>de</strong>rations’ irrigation water users’ organizations Corabia – Olt, Sadova andGrojdibojdu.Also thete is a suitable crop farming region with a high potential for <strong>de</strong>velopment. Thus, Romania has thelargest growth potential in Europe in terms of rice production due to water reserves of the Danube. At nationallevel the area cultivated with rice reaches approximately 8,000 hectares.In Dolj County, in 2009, was reopened at Gighera rice plantation cultivating about 1,100 hectares. Areawill increase up to 1500-1600 of which approx. 70 hectares cross cultures of great interest in this sector. Asregards county has invested about. two million euros to purchase land and equipment for the construction ofdryers with a capacity of 240 tons / day of rice and two warehouses with an area of 1,700 m2.In Olt County the area planted with rice is over 1,100 ha. and the investments are about 4 million euros.The main comparative advantages at the level of the region are of a temporary nature. The low level ofwages in the region compared to other European countries can not be maintained long term, especially sinceone of the results of <strong>de</strong>velopment policies is even increase income inhabitants of the region. Also, once Romaniajoined the European Union state aid regulations fall un<strong>de</strong>r the EU and are very strictly monitored. Moreover,the level of fees has changed in recent years generated the need to counterbalance the effects of economiccrisis (for example increased VAT from 19% to 24%).It is necessary to focus regional <strong>de</strong>velopment policies on comparative advantages related to the qualityof labor, increased information and awareness throughout the population.Regional distribution of <strong>de</strong>velopment resources is closely linked to local capacity to effectively use somecommon factors, important to entrepreneurship initiative.
