The main objective was the creation of an efficient means of communication for Government, taking into account the large number of visitors accessing the website and also the widespread trend among people to access information of this type.

The efforts have been channeled on three directions: 1. a new graphic interface, information structuring and display in an accessible way. 2. Rapid publication of information on website whereby the creation of an easy possibility of site contents management by those producing materials for website; 3. Addition of new functionalities, complying with most recent technologies in the field and accessibility requirements.
