A new structure within the Romanian security and defence establishment was set up in November 2005, namely the National Intelligence Community (CNI). It was designed as a focal point of all information supplied by the multiple Romanian security services, and was entrusted with the task of coordinating it. The CNI was launched as part of the CSAT and is headed by General Segiu Medar, former head of the General Directorate of Military Intelligence. Furthermore, a Bureau for Integrated Intelligence is established within CNI, which will be headed by Daniel Moldoveanu.
