Introduction

Dear Reader,

Welcome to the fourth edition of the TOOP Newsletter! The early autumn was marked by a number of important events related to the ‘once-only’ principle, including the adoption of the Single Digital Gateway Regulation (SDGR) by the European Parliament on September 13 and by the Council of the European Union on September 27. The ‘once-only’ principle was also prominently featured at the High Level Conference on Digital and E-Government, part of the Austrian Presidency of the EU Council.

However, the rest of autumn is expected to be even more eventful for the project, as it will be featured in a range of events: from the Web Summit in Lisbon, which will be held  between November 5-8, through Govtech Summit, in Paris on November 12, to the ICT 2018 conference in Vienna on December 4-6, along with a number of other events. It has now become clear that the ‘once-only’ principle has been firmly established as a key item on the agenda of policy makers in the EU and beyond. TOOP will lead the effort in bringing the ‘once-only’ principle to practical cross-border application in Europe. We thank you for your support and wish you an interesting read!

How CEF Digital supports the 'once-only' principle

Prior to the TOOP Project, a number of EU-funded piloting projects had been developing different building blocks enabling cross-border interoperability and delivery of cross-border digital public services for both businesses and citizens. The TOOP Pilots rely and build upon the already existing building blocks. CEF Digital has recently published an article on how TOOP is using eDelivery to enable cross-border data exchange.
