The works on the historical monuments are done only under the inspection of the Ministry of Culture

Protecting historical monuments is a priority for the authorities. Out of the desire to do good, one often does immense harm, including in this regard. All the interventions that are carried out on the historical monuments are done under the inspection of the Ministry of Culture, according to the Law approving the GEO in this regard, promulgated by President Klaus Iohannis.

Thus, according to the normative act, all interventions carried out on historical monuments - other than those for changing the function or destination, for maintenance or current repairs or for the placement of equipment or physical infrastructure intended to support electronic communications networks, which are classified as micro-works, standard works or small-scale works, as they are provided in the legislation regarding the facilitation of the development of electronic communications networks, regardless of their source of financing and the ownership regime of the building - they are carried out by certified specialist personnel, under the own inspection and control of the Ministry of Culture, respectively of its decentralized public services, under the law.

In this case, the legal regime of historical monument is applied starting from the date of posting the decision regarding the initiation of the classification procedure, respectively the emergency classification procedure, according to the provisions of this law.
