The National Statistics Institute collects the data and it can be retrieved:

(1) online, free of charge, PDF format, for the main indicators

(2) online, interrogation of the database using the interface provided by an institution. Most data is free but it requires an account (also free). Data can't be downloaded in bulk.

(3) Offline, data can be downloded in bulk data, for a fee, after submitting a specific request

(4) the data are under copyright © 1998-2014 Institutul National de Statistica - ROMANIA, and it is unclear if there is a licence.

Older data (2007-2014) is available in CSV format on the national open data portal:

http://data.gov.ro/dataset/achizitii-publice-2007-2015-contracte

The data is also available on the procurement portal - http://www.e-licitatie.ro/Public/Common/Content.aspx?f=PublicHomePage but not in bulk or machine readable.

On November, 12th, 2014, the Ministry of Justice launched a new legislative portal, which offers free online access to all legislation. The access is possible through the web interface or through the API.

By law, the data is not protected by copyright and can be re-used without any restrictions.

There is an API to that allow to download the data in bulk - https://github.com/govro/legislatie-just-python-soap-client

The Romanian Permanent Electoral Authority set up a portal where the results of the elections can be retrieved in XLS format. Usually, the results are published immediately after their validation by the Constitutional Court. Only the results of the more recent elections (after 2004) are available in re-usable format. Although the data is not explicitly licensed on their website, the datasets with the most recent elections (2009+) are also available on the Government's Open Data Portal - http://data.gov.ro/organization/autoritatea-electorala-permanenta - thus the positive answer to the specific question.

The data can be downloaded for each scrutiny from separate pages. The Authority also set up a page where all data is available, including online viewers, at http://alegeri.roaep.ro/, but it is working intermittently.

Data is provided via national open data repository. It includes name, identification number, fiscal registration number, areas of activity and locality (state and town, not full address).

Data is updated quarterly. Old versions of the dataset remain available.

The state budget is published as soon as it is approved by the Parliament on a special page maintained by the Ministry of Public Finance. The budget is presented as a set of PDF documents, and, starting with 2014, also in XML format (scroll down to the bottom of the budget page for the link).

However, the XML format does not include the budget rectifications, which are only available in separate PDF files. Also, there is no updated version of the budget after rectifications, which means that one should take the provisions from the rectification bills and apply them to the original budget.

The data are under the Copyright of the Ministerul Finantelor Publice -DGTI but there is no reference to a licence nor terms of use.

According to the Partnership Agreement Romania-EU 2014-2020, the data is not in digital format and Romania requested financial support to digitize it.

The values of the air pollutants are available online on a special website of the National Agency for the Protection of the Environment. These values are updated daily and are displayed on an hourly basis for the two days before the current day. They can be read by accessing one or more of the 142 stations in Romania that continuously monitor the air quality.

The data can be access only through the interface provided. Raw data is not available.

There was no intellectual property information available.

The National Authority „Romanian Waters” collects the data and publishes occasionally synthesis:

http://www.rowater.ro/Lists/Sinteza%20de%20calitate%20a%20apelor/AllItems.aspx

But the raw data is not available.

Romanian INSPIRE Geoportal offers an online viewer, the viewer is free to use and public without restrictions, however it only allows to saves pdfs and print, not actually download the data. The website does say you can register and get access to further data, but it does not specifify what kind of data, formats or fees, so I left the last few questions as "unsure". The website's disclaimer sayes the data is public for use and distribution but does not say anything about commercial use so I had left this as "unsure" as well.

The National Administration for Meteorology (ANM) provides weather data by contract only and retains copyright on all historical data provided:

http://www.meteoromania.ro/anm/?page_id=140

ANM explicitly forbids any re-use of its data by anybody that does not have a commercial contract with ANM, which of course includes citizens that are already paying the cost of operations through their taxes:

Data in non-machine readable data and bulk is available without a payment - http://vremea.meteoromania.ro/prognoza_extinsa/12

Addition on historic weather data: Daily records of nine meteorological variables covering the interval 1961-2013 were used in order to create a state-of-the-art homogenized climatic dataset over Romania at a spatial resolution of 0.1°. All meteorological stations with full data records, as well as stations with up to 30 % missing data, were used for the following variables: air pressure (150 stations); minimum, maximum, and average air temperature (150 stations); soil temperature (127 stations); precipitation (188 stations); sunshine hours (135 stations); cloud cover (104 stations); relative humidity (150 stations). The data are freely available on request in netCDF (Network Common Data Form) format. Any user who accepts our data release guidelines may ask Marius-Victor Birsan (marius.birsan@gmail.com) or Alexandru Dumitrescu (alexandru.dumitrescu@gmail.com) to obtain an account to download the dataset.

Some aggregate indicators are published every 10 days at:

http://www.mfinante.ro/decadale.html?pagina=domenii

This indicates that the transactional data exists but it is not available.

The national open data portal provides in open format: - the postcodes dataset - the administrative boundaries dataset

But no connection between the two.
