On February 27-28 more than 200 high level representatives from European Member States, institutions, business, civil society and academia will gather in Copenhagen, Denmark for a forward-looking dialogue on the political challenges of creating a fully-fledged European Digital Single Market.

The conference is titled “A Digital Single Market by 2015 – A driver for economic growth and jobs“ and will feature a number of sessions covering the different aspects of the digital single market.

One of the sessions – the one I am moderating – is called “Smart public services in the Digital Single Market – Seamless cross-border e-government”. It will deal with the numerous challenges and responsibilities facing the public sector in regards to fulfilling its purpose as a facilitator of services with the primary function of making life easier for the citizens of Europe.

El pasado 1 de diciembre 2011 nos reunimos en Sevilla con unas 200 personas para hablar de la Agenda Digital Europea en España, concretamente de tres temas: eGobierno, Espectro radioeléctrico e Innovación social.

El evento, co-organizado por la Comisión europea y el gobierno de España con el muy valioso y entusiasta apoyo de la Junta de Andalucía, despertó gran interés y destacó por el gran nivel de participación tanto durante el evento como online (antes y durante el evento). Apuntamos algunos datos: en Twitter tuvimos más de 2300 tweets de #daelocal_ES y 364 twitterers. Además, un mes antes lanzamos foros de discusión online para intercambiar ideas sobre los tres temas de la Agenda Digital tratados en el evento de Sevilla, y más concretamente sobre la situación actual y las prioridades en España en lo referente a estos temas. Más de 500 personas participaron aportando, comentando o votando ideas , y se recogieron más de 60 ideas. Toda esta actividad se recogerá en el informe final del evento que publicaremos en las próximas semanas en la website del going local Sevilla junto con todas las presentaciones de los ponentes.

A Agenda Digital para a Europa tem como objectivo tornar cada europeu digital.

Teamet kommer att vara i Stockholm den 9 november och i Örebro och Karlstad den 10e. Vi är Linda Corugedo Steneberg, PG Blixt, Jörgen Gren och Fabio Zilberstein från Generaldirektoratet för informationssamhället och media.

Det passar bra att komma ungefär en månad efter det att den svenska regeringen lanserat sin digitala agenda. Den svenska agendan har arbetats fram genom omfattande rådslag med en bred krets av intresserade parter, en metod som vi tycker är utmärkt. IT samhället utvecklas ganska oberoende av myndigheter och på gräsrotsnivå och då måste arbetsmetoderna anpassas därefter.

Efter besöket i Stockholm åker vi till Örebro och Karlstad för att snappa upp vad som händer utanför storstadsområdet. Våra partners är Landshövdingen i Örebro och Region Värmland. I Stockholm står EU Kommissionens Representation för arrangemangen.

The benefits of cross-border interoperability for eIdentification

Friday, June 10th, 2011
VN:F [1.7.5_995]
Rating: 2.6/5 (5 votes cast)

— Posted by Gábor Bartha, DG INFSO, Policy officer: ICT for Government and Public Services, Workshop organiser at the Digital Agenda Assembly

Today, the access to online services provided by the public and the private sector is more and more linked to e-identification and e-authentication. There are already many Member States providing their citizens with national e-identification and e-authentication instruments (e.g. eID card, mobile phone ID) designed to be used for online transactions. In some Member States the use of these instruments is restricted to eGovernment services, in others they can be used generally by all business sectors.

However, all Member States are confronted now with “non nationals” equipped with e-identification and e-authentication means from other Member States which do not fit into the national solution. The low degree of interoperability of the different national solutions used makes the cross-border use of national e-IDs and e-authentication means very difficult.

Which eGovernment services would you like to see available?

eGovernment is meant to make life easier for citizens and businesses. In many instances this is already the case. Thanks to smart use of ICT, public administrations are serving their citizens better and at less cost. But can the same be said when it comes to serving companies or citizens from other EU countries?

More than 600,000 people live in one EU country and work in another. They have to cope with different national practices and legal systems. Every year 350,000 Europeans marry a national of another Member State and 180,000 European students move to another Member State. Is eGovernment making their lives easier?
