In early 2022, the Council of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) decided to open accession talks with six countries, including Romania. With the adoption of the Roadmap for Romania, common visions with the Organisation were welcomed, while also setting out the conditions for accession. This article aims to analyse the process of accession to the OECD, presenting at the same time the dynamics of Romania’s bilateral relations with the Organisation. Along with the benefits that come with membership, the advantages of the pre-accession period were also outlined. Being a specific international organisation, the OECD presents a set of particularities that set it apart from other international bodies.
