<h1><span class="d-block text-primary">The Once Only Hub.</span>Collaborate to build the future of the Single Market</h1>
<p class="lead">The EU is making it easier for citizens to study, move, work, retire or do business.
The Once-Only Technical System will connect EU public authorities, so they can exchange official documents and data at the citizen’s request. It puts into practice the Once-Only Principle (OOP), which states that citizens should not be forced to provide information to authorities if another authority already holds that information in electronic format.</p>

Html-bobswift

<p class="lead">The Once-Only Technical System is a technical framework for data sharing. Citizens and businesses will be able to request “evidence” to complete administrative procedures (allowing people to study, work, live and retire in other EU countries). The decentralised architecture connects public authorities, so they can exchange official documents and data at the citizen's request. </p>
<p class="lead">The citizen or business is identified and, having actively confirmed that the Once-Only Technical System should be used, is shown a list of the types of document that are possible to be retrieved directly from data sources abroad. The citizen will then select which documents they wish to retrieve from the data sources.</p>
