The
Framework covers the entire range of rules, standards, specifications and
procedures which apply to all the stages of development and operation in IT,
communications and eGovernment projects. The ministry deems such projects as particularly
crucial for the modernisation of the State.

The specific
aim of the Framework is to ensure the interoperability of information systems.
Further overall objectives include cooperation amongst actors in developing
integrated electronic transactions and services for citizens, businesses and
other stakeholders, as well as the achievement of economies of scale for actors
and the national economy as a whole.

The
Framework is seen as necessary by the minister in order to simplify procedures,
reduce administrative burden, eliminate a significant part of the existing
bureaucracy, monitor effectively licenses and make communication between public
bodies faster and more efficient.

The content of
the Framework is to be finalised based on proposals, views, ideas and comments generated
through participation. It will then be ratified by a Ministerial Decision. Certain
comments will help
in establishing a workable framework, thus accelerating the implementation of
provisions as laid down by the Law
on eGovernment.
