The Single Digital Gateway Regulation.
In 2018, the Single Digital Gateway Regulation set out to make it easier and cut red tape for businesses and citizens to find the right information online to do business or move, study, work, retire or in another EU country – using the Your Europe portal.
A joint effort from the European Commission and Member States
The Single Digital Gateway initiative called for EU Member States to ensure that a range of important cross-border administrative procedures are provided fully online. It also called on the Commission and Member States to establish a system allowing for the automated and cross-border exchange of evidence (the documents or data needed for these procedures), known as the Once-Only Technical System.
Complementing the Your Europe portal
Alongside the Your Europe portal, the Once-Only Technical System stands as the newest element within the framework of the Single Digital Gateway, dedicated to more efficient public services and the simplification of administrative procedures.
The Once-Only Technical System:
Boosting the EU Single Market.
The Once-Only Technical System lets EU public authorities securely exchange official documents and data at the request of citizens and businesses as part of cross-border administrative procedures, e.g., when registering an address or vehicle when moving abroad. This innovative system eliminates the complicated manual search, mapping, and fetching of data between Member State authorities, improving efficiency, making people's lives easier, and reducing the costs of mobility in the Single Market.
