The international trade is surpassing evermore the sphere of simple exchange relations pertaining to international/ world production of goods and thus new tendencies arise generating modifications of international commercial contracts. The source of these tendencies resides in the explicit or implicit need to adapt international trade law to new requirements of the current economic status. The present most recent orientations of international trade are related mainly to the modifications and interpretations which can be made to almost every aspect of commercial trade agreements. The most important and fundamental tendency in international trade is the evermore evident sine qua non relation between international trade and global political, economical and military interests, without forgetting the antitheses between globalization and multipolar determinations. The evolution of international trade demonstrates the existence of two relatively distinct components. The first of these components is the foreign trade (in the classic sense) with goods exported directly by domestic economic agents on foreign markets and import goods that enter the national industrial circuit and are being used including to create new merchandise destined for export or for domestic consumers. The second component is the flow of goods subjected to OPT/IPT (Outward/Inward processing Trade) also known as “lohn”. The commercial nature of such flows is given only by the fact that goods traverse national frontiers and are thereby subjected to custom regulations. The management of many small Romanian economic agents is, with little exception, not connected to the mechanisms of capital markets inherent to a competitive economy and closed to the implications of market transparency. Some voices expressed justified fears that European integration will make most Romanian companies go bankrupt because they cannot withstand the assault of their European competitors on a free market. Alternative means of business conflicts resolution are little known in Romania, but they are certainly deemed necessary by most specialists for they provide celerity and confidentiality and help to discharge tribunals of an ever growing number of complex commercial causes.
