Which public issue will be addressed by this obligation? The law no. 350/2005 on the regime of nonrefundable financing from public funds allocated for activities of general interest establishes the obligation of the financing institutions to publish in the Official Gazette of Romania an annual report on the nonrefundable financing contracts concluded during the fiscal year, which will include the financed programs, beneficiaries and contract results. Although the reporting obligation is provided by the current legal framework, the centralization of information on non-reimbursable financing at national level is unfeasible, due to the reporting method (impossibility to search for reports in the Official Gazette, lack of free access). Thus, there may be suspicions about the integrity of the funding procedure and the efficiency and results of the funding may be affected.
Description of the commitment What is the obligation? Transparency of granting public funding established under Law no. 350/2005 through a set of measures integrated in a public policy proposal, which will include the creation of a digital instrument with the role of centralizing all information on funding granted under Law no. 350/2005. (beneficiary, amount, results)
How will the fulfilment of the obligation contribute to the solving of the public problem? - by elaborating of a public policy proposal, based on the analysis of the current situation, in order to standardize and streamline the financing mechanism 21 based on law no. 350/2005; - by creating a pilot mechanism applicable to the target group consisting of central and local public administration institutions, representing the single point of collection and centralized publication of data on non-reimbursable financing granted from public funds according to Law no. 350/2005, for the improvement / equitable increase of the degree of accessibility of all potentially interested actors.
What is the main objective An increase in the degree of transparency in granting non-reimbursable financing from public funds, according to the law no. 350/2005.
