What is an electronic communication?
The e-NOTUM service offers the possibility of making electronic communications that are not notifications, that is to say, any type of communication that the administration wants to make to the interested parties, but which due to administrative procedure does not need to be notified in the form irrefutable.
In these cases, the administration can use the e-NOTUM service to make this type of communication, which has the following characteristics:
- An electronic communication can be used whenever the administration has to make a communication to an interested party that, due to administrative procedure, does not require a reliable notification
- Electronic communication does not have to meet the legal requirements of electronic notification (see section Regulatory framework of electronic notification)
- The system accredits the date and time when the communication is made available to the interested party. Therefore, it can be used in all those communications in which it is necessary to have evidence that the interested party was notified on a certain day and time, but it is not necessary to have evidence of whether or not the interested party has accessed its content
- Access (or non-access) to the content of the communication has no legal effect
In summary, the electronic communications service is a complement to the electronic notifications service, which allows the use of the same notification mailbox to deposit all types of communications that do not have the category of electronic notifications.
When can a communication be made, instead of a notification?
As long as the administration has to make a communication - which does not legally require it to be made as a notification - and it is necessary to have a reliable record of the date and time when it has been made available to the interested party . For example, a typical use case is the convening of collegiate bodies.
What legal effects does electronic communication have?
The electronic communication has been designed so that legally the date and time when the communication has been made available to the interested party can be reliably demonstrated .
I cannot define the days of access to a communication. What is the reason?
In the notification creation form it is necessary to define the notification access days, but in the case of communications, this field has been removed.
This is so, given that, in the case of communications, access or not to the same within a certain period has no legal consequences, as in the case of notifications.
