Interinstitutional Commission

Commission to draft Romania's National AI Strategy.

How the laws define this

Under Romania's Supreme Council of National Defence (CSAT) Decision No. 148/27.09.2022, both definitions establish an Interinstitutional Commission as a dedicated multi-agency body tasked with drafting and coordinating Romania's National Strategy on Artificial Intelligence through interagency collaboration. They concur that this commission convenes central ministries and public authorities to collect inputs, consult on policy, and formulate the national AI strategy. However, the definitions diverge regarding the specific organizational scope and operational reporting obligations. The definition in the Decision of the Supreme Council of National Defence (CSAT) nr. 148/27.09.2022 emphasizes procedural steps like performing interagency assessments, validating the strategy, and creating an implementation roadmap. In contrast, the definition in the Decision of the Supreme Council of National Defence No. 148 (27 September 2022) outlines a broader composition that explicitly includes supervisory agencies, intelligence/security services, and experts, while specifically requiring the body to report its strategic AI decisions directly to CSAT.

Synthesised from the 2 statutory definitions below. Each one is quoted in full, with its source.
