The article addresses the situation of Romania in comparison with other member states of the European Union, proceeding to the inventory of the main variables that characterize the situation of the environment and its influence on the economy such as the revenues collected from environmental taxes, the level of gas emissions, the productivity of resources or the consumption of resources depending on the Member State. The interpretation of the collected and analyzed statistical data has shown that Romania is one of the states with high consumption of resources and, at the same time, with low efficiency of the use of resources in terms of productivity.
