After the Chamber of
\nDeputies, the time has come for the Senate, the decision-making body in this
\ncase, to cast its vote on the bill regulating the implementation of 5G networks
\nin Romania. Drafted by the Government, the bill was adopted in the Chamber of
\nDeputies. According to the chairman of the Senate’s Defense Committee, Liberal
\nNicoleta Pauliuc, the bill is aimed at digitizing the economy and society with
\na view to ensuring protection against threats and vulnerabilities targeting the
\nnational security in terms of communication:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
For people who use the
\nInternet on a daily basis, it is important to understand that, when we talk
\nabout security, we talk about welfare, the two go hand in hand. This bill lays
\nthe foundation for security. When we have security (and by that I mean
\npreventing the use our log-in data on social media for other purposes), we also
\nhave prosperity.<\/p>\n

The new stipulates that
\ncommunications providers will be able to use 5G technologies, equipment and
\nsoftware only from certified producers, only by the Prime Minister’s decision
\nand with permission from the country’s Supreme Defense Council. Producers who
\nget certified on the Romanian market should have a transparent shareholders’
\nportfolio, they cannot be controlled by a foreign government or have a history
\nof ethical misconduct. Producers must apply for certification with the relevant
\nministry. Distributors who have their 5G licenses revoked will be able to
\ncontinue using infrastructure equipment for seven years and the network itself
\nfor another five years. Moreover, the use of technologies, equipment and
\nsoftware other than those sold by certified providers is punishable with a fine
\nranging between 1% and 5% of the company’s turnover. According to experts,
\nstate budget revenues resulting from the sale of 5G technologies could exceed \u20ac720
\nmillion. 5G technology offers superior connection speeds than 4G technologies,
\nquicker access to content and the capacity of transmitting large data interference-free.
\nRomania is already among the first countries in the world in terms of Internet
\nspeed. 5G technology promoters say Internet connections will work 10 times
\nfaster. At a lower scale, people will be able to watch online films much easier.
\nAt a larger scale, the technology will help build smart cities, making cable
\ninfrastructure obsolete. (VP)<\/p>\n
