56 - the photo concerned was found online, on news sites that promoted the protests throughout the country, being used by several publications in different articles related to such events in the public space, not being processed and transformed in any way. - moreover, the photo was posted on a social network as of September 8, 2013. The Bistrita-Năsăud County Gendarmes Inspectorate considers that as long as the young woman was in the public space, at a public manifestation, holding a megaphone, one cannot discuss the failure to respect the person's intimate or private life, as it follows that the intention was to make herself heard and seen by as large an audience as possible. Also, we are informed that when the young woman expressed her dissatisfaction on the social network, at the level of the County Gendarmes Inspectorate Bistrița-Năsăud, steps were taken in order to amicably resolve this misunderstanding, by stopping the distribution of these leaflets, respectively avoiding such situations in the future. The People's Advocate found that the photograph in question, instead of presenting general images with those in a public protest, focused the image on a certain person, whose face was recognizable. Even if the person wanted to be seen and heard by a large group of people attending a public event at that time, this means that the young person wanted to be heard by those present there, and it cannot be assumed that she consented to the use of her image in a public information campaign regarding the role and general duties of the Romanian Gendarmerie and which are the obligations of the participants during the public meetings. According to the legal regulations in force, photographs are subject to the definition of biometric data. As a result of the problems identified, the People's Advocate issued Recommendation no. 18/2019. The Inspectorate of County Gendarmes Bistrița-Năsăud accepted the recommendation, communicating the following: - the responsible staff within the institution trained all the staff on the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/679. - the person responsible for the protection of personal data will carry out periodic trainings on compliance with the legislation in the field of personal data protection and will permanently monitor the compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679, as well as other provisions of EU law or national law regarding data protection. File no. 173/2018 The Public Community Service for Driving Licenses and Registration of Vehicles within the Prefect Institution of Brasov County (S.P.C.R.P.C.Î.V. Brașov) notified the Territorial Office of Brasov, requesting a point of view regarding the legal possibilities that allow the presence of a neutral witness during the theoretical test for driving license taken by a person suffering from the medical conditions of dyslexia and dysgraphia and the initiation, consequently, of a working procedure that regulates exceptional situations. In this regard, S.P.C.R.P.C.Î.V. Brasov addressed the Direction for Driving Licenses and Registration of Vehicles, but from the answer of this institution it has been concluded that such a procedure is not regulated by the legal provisions in force and, as a result, it cannot be applied. S.P.C.R.P.C.Î.V. Brașov faced this situation concretely, when a person requested them to identify a solution that would allow him to take the theoretical test obtaining the driving license in the context in which he suffers from dyslexia and dysgraphia. The Brasov Territorial Office has made numerous written requests to the Direction for Driving Licenses and Registration of Vehicles and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Subsequently, the People's Advocate issued Recommendation no. 65/2019. The Direction for Driving Licenses and Registration of Vehicles informed us that, at the level of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was initiated the procedure for amending Order PEOPLE’S ADVOCATE ANNUAL REPORT 2019
