3. Analysis:

The justification and substantiating evidence provided by the Romanian authorities cover all constitutive elements of the milestone.

The REGES-ONLINE system is functional [...]

The REGES-ONLINE system was developed and implemented under Contract No. 612/DE.30.05.2024 (Evidence No. 2), signed on 30 May 2024 between Romania’s Labour Inspectorate and Vodafone Romania SA. Article 4 of the contract defines the scope of the engagement, which includes the provision of hardware and software infrastructure, as well as warranty, maintenance, and technical support services for the use of the REGES-ONLINE system. The REGES-ONLINE system is a real-time, centralised online General Register of Employees, run by the Labour Inspectorate, where employers enter and manage official employment contract data, and employees can check their contract details digitally. It also provides general information on legal and practical aspects of employment.

The Certificate of completion (Evidence No. 3), related to Contract No. 612/DE.30.05.2024, certifies that the REGES-ONLINE system has been implemented correctly and accepted by the beneficiary, the Labour Inspectorate. It confirms that all contractual obligations and requirements outlined in the contract were met. The REGES-ONLINE system’s source code and documentation have been handed over, and hardware and software products have been received. The Labour Inspectorate has accepted the system and rated it “very good’.

The REGES-ONLINE system is functional, which is proved by the availability of the mobile application “Inspectia Muncii” downloadable from the Google Play Store and App Store, as well as by the accessibility of the webpage “Authenticate in REGES” where any citizen can obtain his/her REGES- ONLINE statement.

In addition, any employer, through an employee or service provider who holds a digital signature or is identified by RoEID, can operate in the REGES-ONLINE system. The Commission services accessed the webpage link provided by the Romanian authorities on 24 February 2026 to verify that the platform is accessible online. This check was completed successfully, confirming that the REGES- ONLINE platform system is functional and accessible online following registration. To perform this check, the Commission services were able to log into the REGES-ONLINE system using an identification credential, confirming that the platform is operational and accessible online following registration.

The Report on the launch and implementation of the REGES-ONLINE system (Evidence No. 4) further confirms that the implementation of the integrated IT system has been successfully completed. The verification procedures carried out included hardware checks, software setup, data initialisation, and a preliminary testing of system functions. The test results indicate that all components are operating correctly, within expected performance limits, and without any significant alerts or identified security vulnerabilities.

The REGES-ONLINE system is [...] interoperable, ensuring access by public authorities and institutions to register data at Application Programming Interface (API) level
