RO: New agency for the eGovernment services infrastructure

Last June, the Romanian Government adopted an Emergency Ordinance which regulates the organisation and function of an Agency for the Information Society Services (AISS).

The new agency will have as its main responsibility the implementation and operation at national level of the informatics systems that provide eGovernment services. Thus, AISS will take over the specific responsibilities of the General Inspectorate of Communications and Information Technology in this field.

The agency will indeed be in charge of developing and operating the following applications mainly:

• eGovernment portal (e-guvernare.ro);
• Electronic procurement portal (e-licitatie);
• The Informatics System for the electronic attribution of international goods road transport authorisations (autorizatiiauto.ro).

Subordinated to the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, AISS will be managed by a president and two vice-presidents assigned or dismissed by an order of the minister for Communications and Information Technology. Both positions will require passing an examination.

The Agency’s income will be composed of the fares of the electronic systems that it manages and operates as well as of revenues from activities developed in its own field of work, donations and sponsorships but also internal and external credits contracted in compliance with the applicable law.
