Exercitarea dreptului de proprietate asupra terenurilor de către cetăţenii străini (studiu comparat)

Abstract

The number of actual regulations’ landings concerning the foreign citizens’ right for holding lands is remarkable. This thing is not surprising taking into consideration that this problem is not ruled by the International Law and there are no multilateral conventions concerning the utilization and holding land by the foreign citizens. The International Law does not limit the right of the states to restrict or regulate the property of foreigners over land on their territory. The states derive advantage from the sovereignty of their natural resources, including land. The land is not only an element of a state to exercise sovereignty over it is also a fundamental resource. The overwhelming majority of the states have a restrictive attitude towards the right of the foreign citizens to hold the property over land. Other states retracted from such restrictions adhering to the European Union. Also it has to be said that the holding of the propriety over land by the foreign citizens show as well benefits and risks.
