  1. A competitive digital single market –- eGovernment as a spearhead Silvia-Adriana Ticau, MEP Rapporteur of the European Parliament for « A competitive digital single market – eGovernment as a spearhead » Seamless eGovernment Brussels, 20 December 2011

  2. Where we are? Services Directive(2006/123/EC) – Points of Single Contact (Internal Market)Data protection Directive(95/46/EC)/ privacy-enhancing technologiesDigital AgendaCross border e-government services (the list of 20 basic public services – 2001)e-invoice Initiative/ Directive 2010/45/UE on VAT and common invoice related rulese-procurement (16% of EU GDP) - PEPPOLe-signature Directive(1993/93/EC) – REVISION /Secure eAuthentication systemse-IDM systems - STORK • Digital Agenda: Scoreboard shows progress(2010)-Regular Internet Use: 65% of the EU population- 68% of EU households with broadband internet connections-24% of individuals aged 16-74 in the EU27 never used the internetOnline shopping: 40% of EU citizens- e-Government: 41% of EU citizens use e-Government services- 74% of enterprises obtaining information from public authorities' websites and 69% submitting completed forms electronicallyBUT only- Cross-border eCommerce: less than 9% - 26% of SMEs purchase online and 13% of SMEs sell online-between 8% and 41% of enterprises use e-invoices in EU-27

  3. e-Government interoperability- state of play and barriers • eGovernment – 20 basis public services (12 citizens, 8 businesses) • 5 leading Member States on full online availability and regarding online sophistication of 20 services: Malta, Portugal, Sweden, Austria, Slovenia • Lack of interoperability at the national and European level • Lack of EU Interoperability of PKIs • Member States use: • a single centralized legal framework consisting of a single e-Signature law(17) • a holistic e-Government policy implemented in a homogeneous manner throughout all affected sectors (6). • a decentralized legal base for e-signature, based on a suitable legal framework an a sector basis(2) • an ad hoc legal framework based on e-signature specifically designed for a single application(3) • Member States use different models for e-Government applications using electronic signatures: • the one-stop shop model • the common e-Signature framework model • generic CSP model (applications are planned to move to a shared service approach) • application specific CSP model.

  4. High impact e-Government Services e-procurement systems The average usage of e-Procurement reached in 2009 was 30% A shift from pre-award systems (e-Notification, e-Submission, tender evaluation) to post-award systems (e-Ordering, e-Invoicing, e-Payment) e-Procurement – mandatory for government entities and their suppliers • SEAP(RO) – introduced at the beginning of 2002 • Contracting authorities/Providers registered :12,877/37,699 • Bid notifications/Invitations to the bid published :202,032/299,296 • Notifications submitted to OJEU :53,527 • Catalogue based products published into SEAP :343,075 • Request for proposals/Direct purchases published :69,197/2,511,369 • Total of the public acquisitions done through SEAP :43,774,340,519.84 RON (~10 bn EUR) • Attacks annual average distribution: • (53,20% Medium, 44,13% Low, 2,32% High) • Medium and high event between 10h and 17h (working hours) • 45,89% ICMP, 34,7% TCP, 19,12% UDP, 0,29 Unknown) • SKI, ETHICS(DK) – established in 1994, respectively 1995 • Framework agreements • 12,3 mil EUR turnover per framework contract • PEPPOL - Public Procurement large scale pilot project • 18 partners, 12 countries • Connect national public procurement systems • completion date : 31.10.2011 • Budget :30,8 mil euro • EU Public Procurement Market : 16% EU GDP ( 1500 bn euro) • E-CERTIS • Eurostat statistics – 16 DEC 2011 – EU 27, JAN 2011 • 95% of enterprises had access to the internet • 87% of enterprises fixed broadband connection • 47% of enterprises mobile broadband connection • Obtaining information from public authorities' websites common among EU enterprises • Less than 20% of EU enterprises have a website offering online ordering

  5. High impact e-Government Services e-Invoice • e-Invoicing and e-Procurement – mandatory for government entities and their suppliers • EU e-Invoicing systems can reduce supply chain costs by 243 billion EUR (European Associations of Corporate Treasures) • In EU27 – 400 e-invoicing service providers • E-invoice standard data model • European Electronic Invoicing (EEI) Framework • National For a and European Multi-stakeholder Forum • Since 1 July 2008 – all Swedish government agencies must process invoices electronically • Since January 2005, Denmark saved about 120 mil EUR/Year with an e-Invoicing system

  6. High impact e-Government Servicesnational interconnectivity of e-tax, VAT, corporation tax, registration of new company e-Gov systems • Interoperability between national and European public administrations – European Interoperability Framework (EIF) • Open standards/ Standardization mandates • eIDM • Cross border recognition recognition of digital signature • Data normalization • Systems’ integration • Collaborative approach • Open form of government/ Open Data Strategy for Europe (with full respect of rules on the treatment of personal data) = €40 billion boost to the EU's economy each year. • Cross border E-IDM/E-signature

  7. High impact e-Government ServicesSTORK – eID (Secure idenTity acrOss boRders linKed) EU wide interoperability issues • Different technical infrastructure and equipment in use • Different authentication protocols and procedures • Different set of personal data come from different countries • Acceptance of trust of personal data came from a foreign country • Checking the authorization of a foreign user service provider is required • 29 partners, 14 countries • National identitity providers linked with national pan-European proxy services (PEPS); system operators of the eID system connected to their PEPS at national level • Started in June 2008 • duration : 3 years

  8. TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF E-SIGNATURE INTEROPERABILITY • Identifiers in certificates • Signature Type • A simple signature (non PKI based) can’t be used where PKI based (advanced or qualified signatures) are requested due to the fact that validation processes are not the same. • All PKI based signatures can be compatible with the application requirements. • it has limited technical means to verify that the eSignature has been created or not by a SSCD • Signature Format • The signature format used is most of the time based on XMLDSIG or XAdES (ETSI TS 101 903) • there are some applications that use the format PKCS #7 (Cryptographic Message Syntax) • there are applications that use their own format. • to promote the use of international standards • Two main signature formats are emerging today: • · CAdES (CMS Advanced Electronic Signature) – defines Electronic Signature formats built on CMS (RFC 3852) by adding signed and unsigned signature attributes; • XAdES (XML Advanced Electronic Signature) a set of extensions to XML-DSig making it suitable for AES. • Signature Validation • The limited number of CSPs currently supported by eGovernment applications is a major barrier to interoperability. • The client signature tool should use standardized interfaces or applications that are de-facto available on any platform

  9. Cross border recognition of e-signature(1) • There is a definite trend towards the creation of a single centralized e-signature infrastructure, which allows specific applications to simply ‘plug in’. • For the evolution of applications to a European e-signature full interoperability service, for signature validation purposes, the most significant recommendation is to set-up a Federation of Validation Authorities (FVA) • based on a unique European Validation Authority Gateway (EVAG) that acts between National Validation Authorities (NVA) of states. • But not all states will set-up a NVA; in this situation, it is proposed to set-up a Generic Validation Authority (GVA) at the European level

  10. Cross border recognition of e-signature(2) • A future FVA established at the European level requires : • common norms and standards to be applied by the VAs to classify certificates and/or signatures; • common communication protocols to be used between the VAs to validate certificates; • compensations to be paid between participating VAs for the use of their validation services; • guarantees to be provided by the VAs to ensure their solvency and accountability; • quality of service, including guarantees in relation to availability; • liabilities to be accepted by the VAs in relation to each other; • guarantees and liabilities should be defined in relation to certificates, signatures, services provided by the VA, supported CAs, and quality of service
