Pre-conditions for Developing eGovernment

A number of pre-conditions need to be satisfied to allow for secure and efficient electronic collaboration between Member States. Actions in this respect include the development, deployment and interoperability of ICT infrastructures. Attention must be payed as well to the benefits of open specifications as a means to promote interoperability, to key enablers to improve existing and develop new services, and to the innovation of eGovernment service architectures through research and development, pilot projects and other implementation schemes.

Priority 4.1: Open Specifications and Interoperability
- Action 32: Put into action the European Interoperability Framework (EIF) and the European Interoperability Strategy (EIS)
- Action 33: Exchanges of expertises, promotions of the re-use and sharing solution to implement interoperable eGovernement services
- Action 34: Alignment of national interoperability frameworks to the EIF
Priority 4.2: Key Enablers
- Action 35: Revision of the eSignature Directive for cross-border recognition and interoperability of secure eAuthentification systems
- Action 36: Decision to ensure mutual recognition of eIdentification and eAuthentification
- Action 37: Apply and roll out the eID solutions
Priority 4.3: Innovative eGovernment
- Action 38: Apply emerging technologies and paradigms in public sector
- Action 39: CIP programme to upgrade IPv6 on a large scale
- Action 40: Pilot projects for innovative architecture and technologies in eGov
