Recital 7

(7) The EU eGovernment Action Plan 2016-2020 set out in the Commission Communication of 19 April 2016 seeks to increase the efficiency of public services by removing existing digital barriers, reducing the administrative burden and improving the quality of interactions between national administrations. In particular, that action plan enshrines principles such as the ‘digital-by-default’ service standard principle, the ‘once-only’ reporting principle and the ‘cross-border by default’ principle, which aim to facilitate mobility within the digital single market. It also enshrines the principles of ‘interoperability by default’, which aims to ensure that public services work seamlessly across the internal market, and the trustworthiness of personal data and IT security.
