The government approved the draft law on the search for missing persons. UPDATE: Amendment on the implementation of an information system to ensure the real-time transmission of information between institutions

On Friday, October 22, 2021, the Romanian Senate informed that Senator Nicoleta Pauliuc, chairman of the Committee for Defense, Public Order and National Security in the upper house of Parliament, proposed an amendment according to which the Romanian Police will have to implement an integrated information system to ensure real-time transmission of information and communications in cases of missing persons, according to a statement.

The integrated information system will ensure real-time communication between STS (112), the Romanian Police, the Prosecutor’s Office and the Court. The creation of this system will eliminate communication or other problems that may delay the start of specific search procedures for missing persons.

This system has two main purposes:

– speed of data transmission, obtaining authorisations and carrying out concrete activities in the field;

– compliance with the constitutional requirements related to the protection of privacy and the processing of personal data, by the fact that any intrusive measures to search for the missing are ordered by magistrates.

The implementation of the system could be the first example of the complete digitisation of an activity carried out by several state institutions.
