eDelivery and Digital Building Blocks presented at the Single Digital Gateway high-level event
On 19 March 2024, the European Commission held a conference on the Single Digital Gateway (SDG), under the patronage of the 2024 Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU. The conference, titled ‘Boosting the EU Single Market: Towards the Single Digital Gateway 2.0’, reviewed the progress of the Single Digital Gateway. The Commission also presented plans for the next stage of the Single Digital Gateway, aimed at consolidating the Single Market’s integration and supporting Europe’s competitiveness.
The conference featured three panel discussions and a keynote speech by Mathieu Michel and Maive Rute. The keynotes emphasized the high costs of administrative burden and the need of quick and efficient public services for fostering innovation, growth, and satisfaction. Making this a reality, a user-friendly and accessible single digital portal is critical for citizens and businesses and key achievements and lessons learnt already have been examined.
The panel discussions highlighted the successes of the Single Digital Gateway to date, the increased efficiency by utilizing digital tools and, finally, how to design a SDG 2.0. Currently Single Digital Gateway facilitates online access to information, administration procedures, and assistance services that EU citizens and businesses across the EU. The access is provided via user-centric portal Your Europe and Once-Only Technical System. In the future, SDG would reinforce the integration of the EU’s Single Market and increase competitiveness of the EU worldwide.
Across all panels, the importance of digital public services and how they could be further improved facilitating the functioning of the EU Single Market have been emphasized. Digital Building Blocks have been at the heart of facilitating interoperability and digital services in the EU.
