Regulatory compliance policies - digitalization of the public administration

Abstract

Digitization is an important process with applications in many areas of activity, including public administration at EU level, and is regulated to ensure a secure legislative framework, the proper functioning of the state and the protection of fundamental rights. The EU wish is to modernize public administration by increasing the efficiency and transparency of services provided to citizens. The aim of our paper is to see whether the EU regulatory compliance policies on digitization of public administration brings the much sought-after efficiency, both by the state and the end-user. The research methodology is based on the analysis of the EU regulatory compliance policies in the field of digitization and on the examination of the legislation adopted in Romania to align with these standards. The results of our analysis show that Romania, as a member state of the European Union, has adopted and implemented European policies that refer to digitization, interoperability of systems, data protection and data security. The real impact of digitization will be seen when the member states, including Romania, manage to fully transpose and implement these rules.
