Abstract
In this paper the results of the comparative study carried out in two countries members of the EU are presented. These countries, respectively Austria and Romania have adhered to the European Union in 1995, respectively in 2007. Four sets of questions have been elaborated, each set containing 20 questions, which were answered by different categories of education. The questions followed the main environmental problems and aspects regarding the administration organizations specialized or qualified for administration of environment problems. The distribution of the sets of questions was carried out with the direct involvement of the youth organizations and of volunteers from the neighborhood organizations. The analyses of the results were first considered separately for each group of subjects and then perceptual analyses were carried out on the correct answers. The comparison of the data obtained using the subjects of the two countries has emphasized a similar interest and a comparable level of knowledge.
