The paper begins with an introduction defining the characteristics of G2B and B2G services, and it continues with the analysis of their stage of development in Romania. Thus, as far as G2B services are concerned we have examined them starting from the general approach in order to determine the degree of development and the use of online public services and from the specific approach in order to examine the quality of this type of services. The quintessence of these types of services is the National Electronic System, for which the second part of the paper presents, in detail, the main modules of this system allowing: routing messages, integrating information systems of government agencies, user management.

Each bibliographic reference was accompanied by a set of descriptors, for a manifold accessibility of the information. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents the situation of periodical publication in Bessarabia, beginning with its territorial takeover in 1812 by the Russian Empire, when it was gradually forced into a social-political integration or assimilation. The author presents all the attempts to found a periodical on the territory of Bessarabia, based on historical evidence and archival research, starting with the first Imperial publication in 1854 of a Governmental Bulletin. Romanian publications in Bessarabia had a new chance of existence only at the beginning of the 20th century, after the Revolution from 1905, when an impressive number of new publications left the press.
