INNOVATION IN LOGISTICS AND FREE ZONES

Andrea Feher

Abstract


One of the most significant economic innovations of the end of the last century was the extension of the free zones which conquered the entire world economy. The justification for setting up free zones is supported by the need and opportunity of regional and national scale investment, the capitalization of domestic natural resources and the workforce available. With more than 25 years lapsed after the introduction of Law no. 84 of 1992 on the status of free zones and after a long run of events connected to Romania’s accession to the European Union which led to the disappearance of all tax and economic facilities specific to free zones, the global economic crisis etc., we may find that free zones have not disappeared, as one would think, along with the disappearance of the offered advantages but, on the contrary, an increase in their numbers have been recorded at European Union level, particularly due to Croatia’s accession.
