The free and unrestricted access of individuals to any information of public interest constitutes one of the fundamental principles of the relationships between individuals and public authorities, in accordance with the Constitution of Romania and with the international documents ratified by the Romanian Parliament. Any person has the right to request and obtain from public authorities and institutions, under the conditions of Law 544/2001 regarding free access to information of public interest, information of public interest, and public authorities and institutions are obliged to provide individuals, upon their request, the information of public interest requested in writing or verbally. Public authorities and institutions are obligated to respond in writing to the request for information of public interest within 10 days, or, as applicable, no later than 30 days from the registration of the request, depending on the difficulty, complexity, volume of documentary work, and urgency of the request. If the time required to identify and disseminate the requested information exceeds 10 days, the response will be communicated to the applicant within a maximum of 30 days, provided that the applicant is notified in writing of this fact within 10 days. The displayed public information request form can be completed by the citizen, who can request information regarding the categories of documents created and/or managed by the Brăila County Council that constitute information of public interest. First of all, in order to benefit from information, 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 accesses 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 to obtain the information of interest, which must be downloaded, completed with the required data, scanned, and then uploaded again onto the platform. Confirmation of the receipt of the document and, subsequently, the response will be communicated through the platform, to the email address mentioned in the form.*
