The official institution that produces and collects geographical information regarded as the National Map is the National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration (ANCPI).

ANCPI provides the data in KMZ format via the national open data repository. Data can be downloaded in other formats (fileGeodataBase, shape, dxf, dgn) from ANCPI website (http://geoportal.ancpi.ro/geoportal/catalog/main/home.page) but it requires authentication. Registration is free.

On the national open data repository, data is updated when needed. Old versions of the datasets remain available.

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.

39 Government Budget
URL: http://www.mbuget.gov.ro/buget/bug2013.html?pagina=buget2013&locale=ro
Format: XML, PDF

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 is slightly behind schedule: the information on the latest rectification, from mid September, was not yet published in mid October.

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