Te gaming server does not have to be located in Romania but there must be mirror and safe servers in the territory so the NGO can monitor activity. In addition operators are also required to establish a ‘terminal’ which is defined by the legislation as an IT tool at the disposal of the NGO whereby the regulator can access several centralised reports concerning the online operations


“Te legislation sets forth that the conditions for the introduction and exclusion on/from the blacklist will be regulated through an order issued by the President of the Gambling Office. Tere is one order adopted on this subject back in 2015, but such provides only certain general and rather vague conditions regarding the inclusion on the blacklist. Being so, at this stage, there is still no normative act establishing the procedure to be followed in order to exclude a website from this list.


“Te legislative inconsistency may generate a


significant impact in practice, because the presence on the blacklist represents a legal barrier for the operator of the blacklisted website to apply for a licence.


“Under these circumstances, in the absence of a piece of legislation regulating the exclusion procedure, it is unclear what actions and arguments must an operator put forward in order for the regulator to decide that a certain website must be removed from the blacklist,” explained Ana-Maria Baciu.


In addition, objections have been raised by several human rights organisations which argue that forcing ISPs to block access to certain websites infringes certain rights to privacy.


As users are redirected from a ‘blacklisted’ site to a website hosted by the Special Telecommunications Service, various bodies have warned the ONJN’s decision to establish a censorship of content could violate the right to privacy of electronic communication, generate e-security problems and means ISPs could be liable to civil suits for blocking websites.
