Summary:Regulation (EU) 2024/903 - adopted by the co-legislators on 13 March 2024 - aimed at strengthening cross-border interoperability and cooperation in the public sector across the European Union (EU). The initiative is also known as the Interoperable Europe Act. Further information:Member States of the European Union have been investing intensely in the digitisation of their public administration. However, the digital transformation of the public sector has not been complemented by interoperability across the EU. Interoperability involved the sharing of information and knowledge between organisations through the business processes they support, by means of exchanging data between their network and information systems. This cannot be achieved solely by technical means; it needs agreements and established processes between different organisations, aligned data descriptions, laws that allow for those data exchanges and structured long-term cooperation. This Regulation lays down measures that promote the cross-border interoperability of trans-European digital public services. It establishes common rules and a governance framework for the interoperability of the underlying network and information systems. The draft law was adopted by the European Commission on 18 November 2022, alongside an accompanying Communication. Its specific objectives included:
The European Parliament's relevant committee adopted a negotiating position on 27 July 2023. The Council of the European Union adopted its general approach to the proposal on 6 October. An informal agreement between the co-legislators on a compromise text for this file was reached on 13 November. This was formally endorsed by the Parliament on 6 February 2024 and by the Council on 4 March. The Act was signed by the co-legislators on 13 March 2024 and published in the Official Journal on 22 March 2024. The Act entered into force on 11 April 2024. |
