eDelivery to connect national railways application procedures
How to effectively communicate and process railway certificate and project applications to the Member States is a challenge for the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA) and calls for innovative solutions.
ERA and the CEF eDelivery team held a webinar to present the user of eDelivery within the One-Stop Shop project to the member states that will use the One-Stop Shop to communicate with ERA.
To date, National railways handle independent application processes for these ERA applications. Files are submitted predominantly in paper format by post, while a small margin of operators operate a document management system to support the national railway authority’s tasks. In addition, it becomes a tedious task for the ERA to keep up-to-date on all applications and to effectively communicate the stage of each application.
The virtual One-Stop Shop has been developed to solve this issue. The One-Stop Shop is the single entry point through which all applications files will be submitted in the future. The platform aims to connect member states national railway authorities to deliver documents securely through a single-entry point.
This autumn Sweden will start a pilot test-run and ERA plans to rollout the One-Stop Shop across the EU by June 2019.
