Abstract
Earthquake catalogues are the primary input data for seismic hazard computations. An earthquake catalogue should be up-to-date, complete, homogeneous and accessible. There are several earthquake catalogues for the Romanian earthquakes published until now (e.g. Purcaru, 1979; Radu, 1979; Constantinescu and Marza, 1980; Radu, 1991; Trifu and Radulian, 1991), but none of them fulfil all above-mentioned criteria.
