Law No. 18 On land fund.

This Law establishes the land tenure system in Romania. Land of all categories, regardless of the destination, of the title on the basis of which they are owned or of the public or private domain of which they are part, constitute the land fund of Romania. The Law classifies land in the following categories: (a) agricultural land; (b) forest land; (c) urban land; (d) water land; and (e) industrial land. By the right of ownership land shall be classified as public and private. Land ownership rights must be registered in accordance with the law. Agricultural land pertaining to agricultural cooperatives located outside urban areas becomes the property of the members of agricultural cooperatives. Natural persons whose agricultural land have been transferred to state ownership by the effect of normative acts of expropriation, or their heirs, may request the reconstitution of the property right for the land area transferred to state ownership. All owners of agricultural land are obliged to ensure their cultivation and soil protection. It consists of 123 articles divided into 10 chapters, namely: General provisions (I); Establishment of the right of land ownership (II); Provisions concerning land owned by the State and some special provisions (III); Procedural provisions (IV); Use of land for agricultural and silvicultural production (V); Land use for agricultural and forestry production (VI); Temporary or permanent use of land for purposes other than agricultural and forestry production (VII); Organization and arrangement of the agricultural territory (VIII); Sanctions (IX); and Transitional and final provisions (X).
