1. Czech POINT
30 October 2008

2. 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

3. Main objective of the project
“Let’s make the data run around, not the citizen!”
In the future, citizens will have access to Public Administration services not only at the Czech POINTs, but also through the Internet.
