Abstract
Until 1989, there was no specific legal framework for the mountain area, through which the specificity of the mountain could be the subject of a differentiated mountain policy. Nor specialized public institutions for mountain development. After 1990, a number of institutions and bodies with a role in the field were created. By Government Decision no. 888 of December 9, 1994, the Training and Innovation Center for Development in the Carpathians – CEFIDEC – was established as a public institution with legal personality, subordinated to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, based in Vatra Dornei, Suceava County, in the “Motel Runc” building, Runc Street – no number. Between July 2003 and April 2004, CEFIDEC was taken over by the National Agency for Agricultural Consulting Bucharest, and will regain its legal personality in May 2004. From December 2009, the institution becomes a component part of the National Agency for Mountain Areas – ANZM (based in Alba Iulia). In September 2010, the National Agency of Mountain Areas was abolished, CEFIDEC being implicitly abolished as well. Between September 2010 and August 2015, within the structure from Vatra Dornei, a service of the General Directorate for Rural Development – Management Authority for PNDR from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development functioned. In December 2014, the Mountain Area Agency will be re-established, which will also have as its directorate the Training and Innovation Center for Development in the Carpathians. And, in December 2018, by GD no. 1036/2018, the Mountain Area Agency changes its title, becoming the National Mountain Area Agency, keeping CEFIDEC, as a direction within the agency. The major present and future new challenges of the institution, aim at the elaboration of the National Strategy for sustainable development of the mountain area, of the National Strategic Plan (chapter related to the mountain area), of some projects and department development programs for the mountain inhabitants of Romania.
