В современных условиях расширения процессов глобализации растет роль трансграничного сотрудничества в жизни регионов и общин и открываются новые возможности для активизации хозяйственной деятельности на периферийных территориях и повышения их конкурентоспособности. Трансграничное сотрудничество направлено на преодоление негативных аспектов существования границ и последствий, возникших на приграничных территориях из-за их расположения на национальных окраинах государств и направленных на улучшение условий жизни населения. Среди главных целей такого сотрудничества есть: преодоление существующих стереотипов и предубеждений по обе стороны границы; устранение политических и административных барьеров между соседними народами; создание хозяйственной, социальной и культурной инфраструктуры, при условии формирования общих органов, хозяйствующих субъектов, и т.д.В статье описаны основные аспекты трансграничного сотрудничества между Румынией, Молдовой и Украиной. Румыния выступает важным партнером для государств Восточной Европы, и как одно из самых молодых государств ЕС имеет немалый опыт, который мог бы помочь государствам-партнерам в проведении эффективных реформ в социально-экономической сфере и борьбе с коррупцией.Трансграничное сотрудничество Украина-Румыния-Молдова является составной частью Европейского инструмента соседства и партнерства и играет важную роль для развития взаимовыгодных отношений между государствами, способствует решению социально-экономических, экологических и вопросов безопасности, а также является эффективным средством европейской интеграции Украины. Совместный план действий «Украина-Румыния-Молдова» 2007–2013 гг. Европейского инструмента оказал существенное влияние на оживление трансграничного сотрудничества между Украиной, Румынией, Молдовой, особенно на сотрудничество местных и региональных органов власти, общины и институтов общественного общества. За период реализации программы было реализовано более 140 проектов, способствовавших развитию транспортной инфраструктуры приграничных районов, энергетических сетей, управлению водными ресурсами и отходами, профинансированы проекты сотрудничества между университетами, научно-исследовательскими институтами и местными органами власти. Между Украиной и Румынией наблюдается позитивная динамика трансграничного сотрудничества, в частности, реализуются важные инфраструктурные проекты в рамках «Совместной операционной программы ЕИС «Бассейн Черного моря» 2014–2020 гг.» и «Совместной операционной программы ЕС «Румыния-Украина» 2014 ».

Under the current conditions of expanding globalization, the role of cross-border cooperation in the life of regions and communities is growing and new opportunities are opening up to intensify economic activity in peripheral areas and increase their competitiveness. Cross-border cooperation is aimed at overcoming the negative aspects of the existence of borders and the consequences that have arisen in the border areas due to their location on the national outskirts of states and aims to improve living conditions. Among the main goals of such cooperation are: overcoming existing stereotypes and prejudices on both sides of the border; removing political and administrative barriers between neighboring nations; creation of economic, social and cultural infrastructure, subject to the formation of joint bodies, economic entities, centers, etc. The article describes the main aspects of cross-border cooperation between Romania, Moldova and Ukraine. Romania is an important partner for the countries of Eastern Europe and, as one of the youngest EU countries, has considerable experience that could help partner countries to carry out effective socio- economic reforms and fight corruption. Ukraine-Romania- Moldova cross-border cooperation is part of the European Neighborhood and Partnership Instrument and plays an important role in developing mutually beneficial relations between states, addressing socio-economic, environmental and security issues, and is an effective means of Ukraine’s European integration. The Joint Action Plan “Ukraine-Romania- Moldova” 2007–2013 of the European Instrument has significantly affected the revival of cross-border cooperation between Ukraine, Romania, Moldova, especially the cooperation of local and regional authorities, communities and civil society institutions. During the program, more than 140 projects were implemented, which contributed to the development of transport infrastructure in border areas, energy networks, water and waste management, funded projects for cooperation between universities, research institutes and local authorities. There are positive dynamics of cross-border cooperation between Ukraine and Romania, in particular, important infrastructure projects are being implemented under the “Joint Black Sea Basin Joint Operational Program 2014–2020” and EU Joint Operational Program Romania-Ukraine 2014–2020”.
