This team is responsible for the management of the corporate contents of the gencat portal, for the maintenance of the transversal sections (Topics, Electronic Office, Procedures, Generalitat, News and Contact) as well as updating and tools (search engines, directories, etc.)
Each department of the Government, organism, public enterprise or consortium which produces contents for the portal is responsible for the accuracy and validity of its own information. The Generalitat of Catalonia is not responsible for the veracity of information coming from other individuals or legal entities which appears on the website or which appears on other websites to which this website refers through its links.
