Parliament of Moldova adopted in the second reading the so-called law “on digitalization of the economy”.
It provides for the facilitated use of electronic signatures and remote digital interaction for processing and modifying documents. In particular, the bill amends nearly 30 pieces of legislation to remove existing barriers that limit digital interaction. The amendments exclude certain procedures requiring entrepreneurs to be physically present at the Public Services Agency, and at the same time include provisions that will facilitate remote interaction. Thus, registration and modification of documents will be possible using an enhanced qualified electronic signature. At the same time, only enhanced qualified electronic signatures from the European Union will be recognized, which will allow investors to sign documents in Moldova and submit documents from EU countries. It is also allowed to conclude an electronic labor contract, not only in the case of remote work, but also in other cases. At the same time, based on the provisions of EU legislation, amendments are proposed to exclude the obligation to authorize documents at the National Center for the Protection of Personal Data. In addition, a wide range of possibilities is introduced for the consent of individuals to data processing, which is also in line with EU legislation. // 12.11.2021 - InfoMarket
