Bulgaria is taking steps tp improve the organisation, quality, and security of registers in the public administration, enhancing the potential of eGovernment and reducing administrative burden on citizens.
To this end, Bulgaria is putting in place the necessary legal framework for the establishment, maintenance and use of electronic registers through amendments of several laws.
As first step, Bulgaria introduced amendments to the Electronic Governance Law, which introduce:
- rules for the establishment of registers of administrative authorities and their requirements;
- definitions of ‘register’, ‘central data administrator’; and
- a definition of the Protected Shared eGovernment Information Space.
Furthermore, adopted amendments to the Law on Cadastre and Property Register establish the requirements for the content of property accounts in the property register and the process for their creation, based on the existing personal accounts, as well as specify the responsibilities of the registry judges and of the Registry Agency in the process of setting up the property accounts in the register.
The final step in the reform concern the entry into force of amendments to the Electronic Governance Law and the Law on Civil Registration.
The reform has a final expected date for implementation on 31 March 2024.
