Single Digital Gateway

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Platform[edit]

The single digital gateway is an EU-wide government information platform for citizens and businesses.[1] It consists of one central EU website in all official languages of the EU (Your Europe[2]) and a network of national and municipal portals in all EU and EFTA countries in the national language and at least one other commonly understood language.[3]

Your Europe exists since 2006. In 2018 the European Parliament and the Council adopted a  single digital gateway regulation[3] giving the network a legal basis.

To make sure procedures can be completed online, and that citizens and businesses can submit the necessary official documents and data according to the “once-only” principle, EU and national authorities created a technical infrastructure to which authorities can connect.[4]

Content[edit]

It offers online access to official EU, national and municipal

  • information about rights and obligations,
  • administrative procedures, and
  • assistance services.[5]

Users can also report issues they had with a public administration in an EU country.[6]

Target audience[edit]

The single digital gateway is meant for EU citizens and businesses who live, work, study, travel or do business in another EU country.

[edit]

National and municipal websites participating in the gateway can be easily recognised by the Your Europe logo.
