Authorities
Who does what
There is no single legislative footprint authority: each public body is responsible for its own mechanism. These are the bodies with a role in the system.

|---|---|---|
| Assembly of the Republic | The RTRI operates within it; it provides the parliamentary platform for recording hearings and interactions; it publishes the register's annual report | Law no. 5-A/2026, Articles 13 and 16(2); Resolution no. 289/2026, Article 4 |
| RTRI Management Board | Three independent members; manages registrations, deals with complaints and applies sanctions; takes office on 01-01-2027 [appointment of members not identified] | Law no. 37-A/2026, Articles 2 and 8(1) |
