INTEGRATION PROGRAM

In Romania, each institutional actor (MAI, MECT, MMFES, MS, etc.) is responsible for integrating foreigners into its field of activity, coordinating and monitoring the policy returning to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, through the General Inspectorate for Immigration, which also has the attribution to offer, through its regional structures, specific services in order to facilitate the integration into the Romanian society of the different categories of foreigners. Coordination at the institutional level is mainly achieved through meetings with decision makers (organised on the National Strategy on Immigration) and meetings at expert level (organised periodically by the General Inspectorate for Immigration through the Asylum and Integration Directorate). The measures provided by law for achieving integration refer on the one hand to facilitating access to a series of economic and social rights, such as the right to a job, to a home, the right to education, the right to medical care and social assistance, and on the other hand to the development of integration programs (specific activities of cultural orientation, counselling and learning of the Romanian language).
