Description

The eighth OOTS Implementers Café will look at how the EU Member States and Commission will approach the 2024 Accelerator and Projectathon series and at how to best engage Competent Authorities during this Once-Only journey. A ‘Competent Authority’ means any Member State authority or body established at national, regional or local level with specific responsibilities relating to the information, procedures, assistance and problem-solving services covered in the Signle Digital Gateway Regulation (EU) 2018/1724.

Accelerators are testing events for national implementation teams to consolidate their national Once-Only Technical System (OOTS) implementations. The Projectathons will allow those national Competent Authorities that must be connected to the OOTS to begin their onboarding process and test their integration into the OOTS.

This event offers an opportunity for teams working on implementing the Once-Only Technical System to plan ahead of these important events.
