Intensifying the ongoing work to onboard national Competent Authorities to the Once-Only Technical System.
Past event
This event intensified the ongoing work to onboard national Competent Authorities to the Once-Only Technical System. This event consisted of expert presentations with examples of progress of Once-Only in the Nordic/Baltic region and best practices in onboarding competent authorities.
Dedicated workshops provided by national experts and Commission representatives looked at how to make connecting to the OOTS as easy as possible for Competent Authorities. These sessions helped to clarify what evidence and data should be exchanged in order for users to complete the procedures covered by the OOTS. Discussions contributed to ongoing work in specific priority domains (population, education, vehicles, businesses).
This event was organised by the Finnish KEHA-Centre with the support of the Commission.
