As noticed in Figure 2, we found minor differences between the consideration regarding the quality of communication with the two categories of partners involved in such actions( i. e. national partner / Romanian and cross‐border partner / Hungarian). The responses indicated similar judgements concerning the efficiency and quality of the communication with partners. Whilst 58 % of the experts appreciated the quality of the communication with national partners as maximum or highly efficient and 8 % considered it as difficult or very difficult, in the case of the communication with cross‐border partners 49 % of the experts considered it as maximum or highly efficient and only 6 % as difficult or very difficult.

5.3.1 Accelerating information exchange
The efficiency of cross border cooperation considered through acceleration of the information exchange have received a positive assessment, i. e. between 38 and 42 % of the respondents have evaluate as“ highly efficient” the introduction of jointly managed informational systems, purchasing computer and communication equipment, creation and development of local networks. The” high efficiency” associated with the informational exchange is also an expression of an important and specific need for improving the informational and TIC related side of the activities. This is particularly the case of” ITC equipment purchasing”( with 42 % of the respondents assessing” high efficiency” and 36 %” medium efficiency”) and” joint information system implementing”( with 38 % of the respondents assessing” high efficiency” and 3)%” medium efficiency”). Between 24 and 36 % of the respondents associate a“ medium efficiency” for this actions and less than a quarter associate“ no efficiency” / or the answers were“ not applicable”. The considerable number of non‐responses(" not applicable ") can be explained by the wide
