Czech POINT 30 October 2008

Joint projects Currently, the most important factor in future projects is data sharing (an essential element e.g. in the Basic Registers Act) Involvement of various components of public administration Orientation towards a common goal of different groups Creation of an environment where public administration authorities do not request various documents from clients having themselves access to them Interest in self-government projects which also streamline the communication of clients with authorities; efforts to link these projects with those of state administration
