The document, obtained by MEDIAFAX, states porn sites must contain warnings as to the site content on each access page and allow user access only after age-check.

Failure top observe these rules is punishable by fines between 10,000 and 50,000 lei (EUR1=RON4.2671) and service providers will be forced to suspend access to the respective site for 30 days.

Any individual or legal entity owning a domain name and intending to use it for pornographic material must notify this intention to the regulatory authority in communications.

The bill keeps the mandatory rule for porn sites to be password protected and pay-per-view.
