2. Benefits with an impact
PROBLEM
Europeans often face barriers when using online tools and services
At present, markets are largely domestic in terms of online services
Only 7% of EU small- and medium-sized businesses sell cross-border
SOLUTION
This includes common EU data protection, copyright rules, boosting digital skills, accessible online content
…and Cross-border Digital Public services (CEF Digital)
CONSEQUENCE
Maximise economic potential, growth/jobs – anticipated to be 415€ billion to EU economy
10 TOP PRIORITIES OF THE EC
Jobs, growth and investments
Digital Single Market
Energy Union and Climate
Internal market
A deeper and fairer economic and monetary union
A balanced EU-US free trade agreement
Justice and fundamental rights
Migration
A stronger global actor
Democratic change

15. CEF Building Block Service Offering Placemat v3
CEF Building Block Service Offering Placemat v3.0 Objective and approach
A SERVICE is a means of delivering value to customers by facilitating outcomes customers want to achieve without the ownership of specific costs or risks.            ITIL v3, Service Design
OBJECTIVE
The Service Offering Placemat presents the services offered by the CEF Building Block DSIs by grouping them into common categories, based on ITIL's best practices.
The placemat is structured in a way that fits ALL the services of the CEF Building Blocks and allows comparison between them.
The service categories that are not applicable for certain Building Block DSIs, are greyed out in each placemat.
The offered services are matched with the users to which those services are offered by the use of ‘audience icons’.
