10. The Large Scale Pilots1.STORK eID Pilot STORK is a large scale pilot in the ICT-PSP (ICT Policy Support Programme), under the CIP (Competitiveness and Innovation Programme), and co-funded by EU. It aims at implementing an EU wide interoperable system for recognition of eID and authentication that will enable businesses, citizens and government employees to use their national electronic identities in any Member State.

16. Government purchases in the European Union account for around 16 % of GDP, which is equal to 1,500 Billion Euro. Overall capabilities of governments to handle key processes with their suppliers such as tenders, orders, delivery notes, catalogues, invoices, or payments is lagging behind other major industries. The lack of common standards for electronic data exchange is considered an obstacle for companies to participate without barriers in public procurement processes. 2.

Key pointers for the next set of eIdentity related initiatives Communication �A Strategy for ICT R&D and Innovation in Europe: Raising the Game�, [COM(2009)116], http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=COM:2009:0116:FIN:EN:PDF EU Ministerial Declaration, Malmo, November 2009. http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/activities/egovernment/conferences/malmo_2009/press/ministerial-declaration-on-egovernment.pdf  RISEPTIS report: �Trust in the Information Society�http://www.think-trust.eu/general/news-events/riseptis-report.html

23. Raising the Game Leading the way out of the economic downturn ICT provide vital tools to recover from the current economic slowdown, to build robust economies, bring the efficiency gains needed in our public sector and cut the rising costs related to e.g. ageing, energy and the environment. A number of ICT innovations are today ripe for wider roll-out and deployment in modern infrastructures. For instance, broadband networks open up demand for new products and services; interoperable pan-European digital services such as e-signature, e-identification and e-procurement are important for the single market to function well.

24. Raising the Game Member States' national and regional managing authorities may opt to participate in JEREMIE and use the ERDF to foster new business creation and SME expansion.

25. Raising the Game European-scale projects spanning from R&D to deployment To speed up the achievement of specific societal goals, the EC is considering how to support a set of focused projects of significant scale and duration that cut across the innovation cycle to develop modern pan-European service infrastructures. Building on lessons learnt on PPPs in the JTIs, in the CIP pilots and from the Lead Market Initiative, each project would mobilise a critical mass of resources , including grants for R&D, pre-commercial procurement and support for innovation and deployment. Examples are:

26. 3 specific areas in Raising the Game (i) health (ii) Energy and: (iii) An electronic identity management (eID) infrastructure, as basis for trustworthy services in e-government and e-commerce. European Large Scale bridging Action: privacy protective eID management infrastructure for trust worthy service Today, a plethora of solutions result in fragmentation, closed solutions and lack of user control and transparency. Ongoing FP7 projects and CIP pilots constitute important steps towards an EU-wide project to implement an effective eID infrastructure. ELSA

27. Raising the Game The fragmented public demand for and slower uptake of ICT-based innovations in the public sector in Europe are also major weaknesses. There is often little collaboration between public authorities procuring innovative ICT-based solutions (e.g. for health, transport, energy) and those in charge of R&D/innovation. This means insufficient awareness of new public service needs, on the one side, and ignorance of technological innovations, on the other, as well as weak links between programmes for R&D/innovation and procurement. Pre-commercial procurement and PPPs

28. Ministerial Declaration from Malmo Our Joint Vision and Policy Priorities for 2015 These actions should be underpinned by our obligations under national and European legislation, in particular those on privacy and data protection and administrative procedures. These actions should further build upon and extend existing initiatives at all levels whilst taking into account the importance of information and network security across borders.

29. Ministerial Declaration Mobility in the Single Market is reinforced by seamless eGovernment services for: the setting up and running of a business for studying, working, residing and retiring anywhere in the European Union

30. Ministerial Declaration Our public administrations should therefore: Create a noticeable and positive change in the ease with which a business can be set up and run in the Single Market. Create a noticeable and positive change in the ease with which citizens can study, work, reside and retire in any Member State. Develop cross-border eGovernment services that are based on real social and economic needs.

31. Ministerial Declaration Our public administrations should therefore: Create appropriate preconditions and key enablers to ensure closer administrative cooperation. We will conduct studies to identify and evaluate legal, organisational, semantic, and technical obstacles that hinder the development of cross-border eGovernment services and consider their solutions.

32. Ministerial Declaration We further invite the Commission to take appropriate measures to support the objectives of this declaration: Coordinate ongoing and future European eGovernment projects so they align with the forthcoming action plan in order to facilitate sharing and avoiding unnecessary duplication of work.

33. Ministerial Declaration This includes those resulting from the ICT Policy Support Programme in the context of the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme, the Programme for Interoperability Solutions for European Public Administrations, the Framework Programmes for Research or any other relevant programmes and activities of the European Commission. Dissemination and take-up of the results of Large-Scale Projects in the Member States should be supported and solutions to assure the sustainability of pilots and actions under these projects and programmes should be explored.

34. Ministerial Declaration Identify gaps in cross-border interoperability and mutual recognition and intensify the activities on key enablers such as trustworthy electronic identity, electronic signatures and electronic documents, and continue developing a joint infrastructure, for example the Internal Market Information system that can be used by all Member States administrations and the Commission in the provision of cross-border services. �Third Countries� should be involved.

40. Lesson for South Yorkshire Lots of problems faced locally are being solved at an EU level There will be constant changes coming out of the EU Being interoperable with such initiatives and participating in future activities will make the region Europe proof, early compliant with emerging standards It will provide economic benefits for local SMEs.

41. Taking the lead To lead in Europe, we simply need to collaborate with the existing leaders in implementing �raising the game� and following the direction which will be dictated by the i2010 follow up programmes. eIdentity is key Event in April � to consolidate a lot of what we have spoken about here- including next EU eForum Privacy Working Group.

42. PSP CIP Call now open Objective 5.3: Universal ID Funding instrument: Thematic Network - It is intended to support one thematic network for up to 1 M� of EU contribution The aim of the network will be to provide a platform for all the stakeholders of eID (electronic identity) to work together and collaborate to prepare a strategy for the coming a large scale deployment of an electronic identity management (eIDM) infrastructure. The network will identify the actions and the timetable for the successful launch in 2013 of a European scale initiative on eIDM spanning from research to deployment. ELSA

43. Universal IDThematic Network Electronic identity management in the future digital society will be the basis for trustworthy services and interactions in domains such as e-government, e-health, e-commerce, finances, transport, travel, web 2.0 communities, and the internet of things encompassing virtual and tangible entities. A ubiquitous eIDM infrastructure in the digital society also needs to consider multiple identity instances, from government-accredited to commercially accepted, and ranging from near-anonymity to strong and unambiguous identification. This should start from a user-controlled and privacy-protective perspective and provide the basis for accountability and innovative applications in an open and competitive market. There are a number of barriers such as economical, technological, legal, social and organisational for the implementation and acceptance of an eIDM infrastructure. The outcome of the network is expected to be a roadmap for the implementation of the eIDM infrastructure including steps to overcome the barriers for its implementation.
