The legal framework is established by:

the restitution the law 18 / 1991

the cadastre and land registration law 7 / 1996

The good news

Still only one Agency that unifies Cadastre and Landbook

The bad news

IT system Issues - “changing people mentality”

• Changing employees’ behavior;

• Huge effort for training without interruption of services supply;

• Management of “collision” between different cultures

(technical & juridical) working in one integrated system;

• Management of relations with professional groups (notaries,

surveyors, banks, etc.);

• New activities requested such as helpdesk, business support, etc.

…we agree the change only if completely missing…

ANCPI and the private surveyors

…working together …for the public

The Romanian government encourages the

private sector in surveying field – by promoting

the geodetic body law

ANCPI moves the collaboration with the private

sector into the digital world era

The regulations and work procedures will be

developed by working groups including experts

from all the main players in the field (private

sector, universities, research institutes, local and

central authorities).

Thank you!
