As with other countries in ECE, Romania began its transition with some major environmental problems because legislation failed to deliver effective pollution controls. Although scarcely apparent during the last years of Communism, an ecological movement achieved early political success and some of the worst affected areas have now seen substantial improvements. In addition, the slow‐down in the economy helped to reduce the scale of environmental damage, although rising unemployment helped to breed a survival mentality which had made the public wary of supporting radical environmental programmes. However, with the help of foreign capital and technology, progress continues to be made on a broad front and the legislative programme of 1995–96 should go a long way to bring Romania into line with EU practices
