Mr President, in 2010 the European Commission adopted the EU 2020 strategy aimed at creating smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, and improving economic governance. One of the seven flagship initiatives of Europe’s growth strategy is the Digital Agenda for Europe, a strategy for leveraging the potential offered by the rapid progress made by digital technologies.
Parliament welcomes the adoption of the European
Government Action Plan 2011-2015, the European Interoperability Strategy and the European Interoperability Framework for European public services, and calls on Member States to take prompt action to align their national strategies with these overarching policies.
High impact services are important for cost savings, cross-border interoperability and for achieving the single market. Given that the public procurement market accounts for 16% of the European Union’s GDP and that SMEs make up 99% of EU enterprises, particular attention must be focused on the cross-border interoperability of
procurement systems and on the large-scale adoption of
invoicing. If fully available and more widely used, it could reduce public procurement costs by as much as 30%. However, 14 and 12 Member States respectively are already at the implementation stage for the pre-awarding and post-awarding phases.
We also appreciate the initiatives from Denmark, Finland, Italy, Spain and Sweden to make
invoicing mandatory for public authorities, and call for
invoicing to be made mandatory for all public procurement transactions by 2016. Key enablers, in particular electronic identity management, interoperability and open standards, are the most important prerequisites for successful
government that is interoperable at European level. Member States should review the requirements of their
signature framework in order to remove the barriers hampering cross-border services.
We call on the Commission to table as soon as possible a proposal for revising the
Signature Directive in order to ensure cross-border recognition and interoperability of secure
authentication systems and the decision on mutual recognition of
identification and
authentication across the European Union.
Parliament emphasises that interoperable cross-border
government services should benefit from an innovative architecture and technologies, public cloud services and Service-Oriented Architecture, and calls for the IPv6-level
government infrastructure and online services of public interest to be upgraded. A secure cross-border
government system is an integral part of the European Critical Infrastructure Protection programme.
We welcome the contribution of the IDA, IDABCD and ISA programmes and the large-scale pilots, as well as of the
Practice forum in terms of designing and implementing cross-border interoperable solutions. Parliament endorses the ‘Connecting Europe Facility’ proposal, which allocates around EUR 9.2 billion to support investment in fast and ultra-fast broadband networks and pan-European digital services. Parliament underlines that the Connecting Europe Facility will provide grants for building the infrastructure needed to roll out
ID
identification
government
procurement
health
justice and customs-related services, and will be instrumental in ensuring interoperability and meeting the costs of running the infrastructure at European level, linking up Member States’ infrastructures."@en1
