Once available, OOTS will operate on the platform of the single digital gateway, a multi-dimensional European initiative aimed at creating cross-border digital infrastructures.
Today, the Commission is preparing the ground for the first EU-wide data space, which will enable the cross-border exchange of information between the public administrations of EU countries.
Thanks to the “Technical Only Once System” (OOTS), which will be available from the end of 2023, public authorities across the EU will be able, at the request of citizens and businesses, to exchange official documents and data, easily and Efficiently. Thanks to OOTS, which connects national portals, citizens will be able to present each document to public authorities only once. If another EU public authority needs to access the same document, it will be able to retrieve it through OOTS, following the citizen’s express permission.
Today, due to the lack of interoperability and digital barriers between Member States, more and more Europeans are forced to provide the same information to different authorities, even if one of them already has this information electronically. For example, students, when applying online for master’s degrees, are forced to provide a copy of their degree, even though the university holds this document in electronic form from the moment the citizen obtains his degree.
Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton said: “This is a long-awaited step towards an effective single market without digital barriers. With the single technical system, we have in our hands a valuable resource to improve the lives of Europe’s citizens and businesses and to enhance the efficiency of the single market by significantly cutting red tape.”
Once available, OOTS will operate on the platform of the single digital gateway, a multi-dimensional European initiative aimed at creating cross-border digital infrastructures.
To this end, the Commission published today the Implementing Regulation for the Single Technical System, following the agreement reached at Member State level. It will also be a model that can be reused for other data spaces in the EU
