1. Cadastre & Land Registry smart(er) interaction
A romanian story

2. Km2
inhabitants

3. 42 counties
properties ( available on common C&LR centralised data base)
transactions in 2015,
mortgages in 2015

5. MILESTONES
mid. XIX century - title system in Transylvania, Banat, Bucovina (deed system - French civil code for all other regions)
main law enacted (Law-Decree nr. 115/1938)
1948 – nationalization of the real estates
1991 – restitution begun (not finished yet)
new land registry law (Law nr. 7/1996)
organisational change (birth of the ROMANIAN AGENCY FOR CADASTRE AND LAND REGISTRATION - ANCPI)
E-terra IT system (v3 rolled out)
new Civil Code
systematic registration starts(ongoing process)

6. NATIONAL AGENCY FOR CADASTRE AND LAND REGISTRY
enacted in 2004
sole authority for cadastre and land registry in Romania
joined organisation for cadastre (Ministry of Agriculture) & land registry (Ministry of Justice)
42 county offices, 177 territorial bureaus
Cca 2800 employees

7. NATIONAL AGENCY FOR CADASTRE AND LAND REGISTRY
CHIEF
LAND REGISTRAR
CHIEF ENGINEER
DIRECTOR

8. CHALLENGES two coexistent land registry systems
two different organisational cultures
parallel evolution of cadastre and land registry
50 years gap due to restricted legal traffic of real estates
restitution of the nationalised/expropriated real estates
legislation instability (more than 33 changes of the law, so far)
political influence
corruption

9. RIGHTS & WRONGS REAL FOLIO EXTENDED TO COUNTRY LEVEL
SETTING UP A NEW FRAMEWORK
new common regulations,
new common workflows
confusing vision on cadastre and land registry functions
overlapping
COMPUTERIZATION
transparent and trackable workflows
faster processes
standardised outputs
technology dependence

10. RIGHTS & WRONGS
DEFINING THE COMPLEMENTARY ROLE OF CADASTRE AND LAND REGISTRY
different objects:
immovable for cadastre (boundaries, description, identification, etc.)
rights for land registry (but object of the right is the immovable)
same outcome: CERTAINTY
ones uncertainty shall not affect others certainty
FOCUS ON INTERCONNECTION & INTEROPERABILITY
fast organisational evolution
constraints (legislation, partners development status)
FALSE TARGETS
higher precision of measurements
overregulation

11. WHAT I HAVE LEARNED (still learning..)
Cadastre & land registry are having different tasks, but complementary roles
Cadastre & land registry are running at different speeds
Define the objects
Define specific goals
Define liability
Define interference area and it’s rules
Avoid overlapped checkings, but not the necessary double checkings

12. Thank you for your attention!
