This workshop aims to raise awareness about the EU's pilots for developing cross border public services and to identify critical factors for their full scale deployment. The Digital Agenda for Europe states that by 2015 key cross border public services shall be available on-line in order to reinforce the Digital Single Market.
The EU e-Government Action Plan asks Member States to agree by end 2011 on a preliminary list of such services. Following a live demonstration of ongoing EU pilots on e-Procurement and the Services Directive, high-level panel and audience discussions will focus on the needs, demand and cost-benefits of cross border services to deliver innovation in the Single market.
The outcome of the workshop will provide an important input to the process of drawing up the mentioned list of key cross border public services. It will provide an initial indication of which services are needed and should be made available on-line. The outcome of the workshop will serve as a key building block for other stages of this process throughout 2011.
The topics addressed by this workshop are directly linked to the following actions of the Digital Agenda for Europe: action 84, action 87, action 89, action 90, action 91.
