eGovernment supply

• Catching-up with EU15, but scope of services is mainly limited to the 12+8 services measured

• Taxation a key application (both for supply and usage)

• Little development in eProcurement and social security

• Local government lagging behind (decentralisation, funds, skills, institutional capacity)

• Current eGovernment priorities: Broadband infrastructure for public sector, PIAP, Portal, eProcurement, Interoperability of registers, growth in the number of online services

• Limited role of private sector and PPPs
