How to comply with the obligation of electronic relations between the Catalan Administrations and transparency between us?

In the field of Catalan Public Administration, the AOC, through the EACAT platform, has provided for a whole series of specific submissions of documentation between the different administrative bodies.

Due to the entry into force of Law 40/2015, of 1 October, on the legal regime of the public sector, the need to have a mechanism for sending documentation in electronic format for all cases necessary, made the AOC make available to the public sector of Catalonia the generic submission of documentation, which resolves the gap that existed in the event of not having a specific submission.

Therefore, the generic EACAT submission (if there is no specific submission to EACAT) will be the solution to be used when documentation has to be submitted between the public sector of Catalonia. In this sense, it is also the solution for sending requests for information or referrals of requests on transparency obligations between entities.

Legal Context
