Abstract

E-mail is a commonly available tool for people communicating with Public Administration on Internet. However, for the dealings with public authorities, it is necessary to comply with requirements that allow interested people to put the messages on the record, receive notifications and access to them. Thus, Public Administration only can use that mechanism as long as it fulfils some technical requirements. We must raise the difference between communications delivered by electronic means and electronic notifications, because the last ones enable the competent authorities to exercise the powers and the involved people to make effective their rights. As configured the framework on electronic procedure, it is necessary to apply specific regulations, but it does not mean those are always the same rules applying to paperbased notifications.
