Overview
- The Presidency of the Council of Ministers approved the national directive on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, to regulate institutional email across all public entities.
- The rule requires that official email accounts be used only for work and public-management tasks and forbids using them for personal or commercial activities.
- Officials may not register with public accounts on social networks, online shops, betting sites, entertainment forums, or use them for political propaganda or unsolicited mass messages.
- The directive orders technical controls including automatic blocking of dangerous messages, two-factor authentication for external access, stronger password policies, and regular backups.
- Central bodies, autonomous agencies, regional governments, public universities and state companies have up to 12 months to comply while local governments get 18–36 months, the PCM can provide free email to municipalities after a technical review, and the coverage did not specify sanctions so implementation will depend on each entity's technical capacity.
