Foreign Intelligence Service (SIE)
The first new secret service to be built on the ruins of the old regime was the Foreign Intelligence Service, set up on 18 January 1990 under the command of Major General Mihai Caraman, a former deputy-director, from 1972 to 1978, of the Foreign Counter-intelligence Service. He was later replaced in April 1992 by Ioan Talpes, a former adviser to President Iliescu.
A fundamental institution of the system of national security, established on constitutional grounds and subject to parliamentary oversight. SIE seeks to combat asymmetric threats-particularly terrorism and trans-border crime. It is responsible for coordinating counterintelligence departments and cementing the cooperation between the intelligence services.
