Authorities said that the governmental infrastructure and security measures had been assessed over the past two days and technical teams worked to restore the systems’ functionality.
Through the automated system for managing and issuing permits, users can apply online for more than 120 types of documents issued by 20 central authorities, as well as submit trade notifications and access public services for the business community managed by 969 local-level authorities.
The available documents include phytosanitary certificates for export or re-export, trade notifications, veterinary health authorizations for transport means, urban planning certificates for design, permits for importing medicines and food safety registration certificates.
AGE notes that specialists are continuing to check and secure the systems, in order to protect data and prevent further attacks. All authorities involved in issuing permits have been informed about the resumption of digital services.
