Law no. 52/2003 on decisional transparency in public administration establishes the minimal procedural rules applicable to ensuring decisional transparency within central and local public administration authorities, whether elected or appointed, as well as other public institutions that use public financial resources, in the relationships established between them and the citizens and their legally constituted associations. Its goal is to increase the degree of accountability of the public administration towards the citizen, as the beneficiary of the administrative decision, to involve citizens’ active participation in the administrative decision-making process and in the drafting of normative acts, and to increase the degree of transparency throughout the entire public administration. As part of the procedures for drafting normative act projects, the public administration authority is required to publish an announcement regarding this action on its own website, to post it at its headquarters in a space accessible to the public, and to send it to the central or local media. The public administration authority will send the draft normative acts to all persons who have submitted a request to receive this information. The announcement regarding the drafting of a normative act project must be brought to the public’s attention at least 30 working days before being submitted for approval by the public authorities. The announcement will include: the date of posting, a substantiation note, a statement of reasons, an approval report regarding the necessity of adopting the proposed normative act, an impact and/or feasibility study, as appropriate, the full text of the respective draft normative act, as well as the deadline, place, and manner in which the interested parties may submit, in writing, proposals, suggestions, or opinions with a recommendatory value regarding the draft normative act. Upon publishing the announcement, the public administration authority will set a period of at least 10 calendar days for the draft normative acts, in order to receive in writing proposals, suggestions, or opinions regarding the draft normative act submitted for public debate. The notification form containing proposals, suggestions, or opinions displayed can be filled out by the citizen, who may request their maintenance in the final form of the draft decision. First of all, in order to benefit from this right, the citizen must create an account on the Single Electronic Contact Point platform. After registering or logging into the account, the individual or legal entity enters the platform and searches for the institution they wish to address, in our case the Brăila County Council. After reaching the respective institution, the citizen looks for the necessary form for communicating their observations, which must be downloaded, completed with the requested data, scanned, and then uploaded again to the platform. Confirmation of receipt of the document and, subsequently, the response will be communicated via the platform to the email address mentioned in the form.*
