The Romanian Interior Ministry is to purchase an IBM computer system which will be a "national information system". The system will be used to manage a countrywide database on population registration and to administer the use of personal ID cards which are to be issued to citizens for the purpose of using social security, health care, education and tax collection. IBM Eastern Europe said that: "the identification system is based on an idea originally proposed by the European Community". The central system is to be linked to 41 regional offices and 302 local offices.
