Mr President, I am delighted to present this report on behalf of the Committee on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy on IDABC. I have been the rapporteur on several previous occasions and have had the pleasure of seeing the IDABC programme grow.
We have seen improvements in the effectiveness of cross-border cooperation between public administrations and what is now being proposed is that this be extended to businesses and to citizens. The journal that the Commission publishes on IDABC often mentions the IDABC way and it is important to emphasise that the IDABC way is about eMethodology: not only about the projects, but looking at the way in which those projects are developed. IDABC is a means to an end, a means to interactive government services at a pan-European level and it is absolutely logical to want to extend this now to businesses and to citizens.
I have submitted just three amendments after discussions with the Commission. They are technical amendments, which will give legal clarification to the original text. I shall spend a couple of minutes talking about why this is so important. It is about giving value in terms of quality of services. It is about encouraging citizens to be better informed in voicing their own praises and their own criticisms of those services. It is about economies of scale and sharing common services. It is true that IDABC has been a driver of modernisation of public services and a contributor, as it will continue to be, to eGovernment in the candidate countries.
It is also important that one of the achievements of IDABC is that it can give our citizens practical, very workmanlike examples of how the European Union, the Commission, Parliament, the Council have worked together to bring citizen-friendly benefits from the European Union to the Member States.
I commend the report to you. I particularly thank my colleagues at the Commission who continue to work so hard and so effectively on this. I also thank the Council presidency, which took its time, but did so because it wanted to put down constructive and progressive amendments that were born of its own experience of the implementation of IDABC at Member State level."@en1
