La administración electrónica en el contexto de la Unión Europea: programación, legislación y financiación

Abstract

E-Government means the opportunity to modernize public services. Its European dimension is visible in planning, legislating and funding. Thus, the European Digital Agenda and the liberalization of services within the European Union are relevant data of this process. The European legislation regarding public procurement has obliged all the Administrations to be constantly adapted to the new technologies. However, e-Government also represents a threat to citizens’ privacy; therefore in the European Union a new fundamental right on personal data protection has been adopted legislatively and constitutionally. European funding is focused in the e-Government projects due to the innovative effects as a fundamental source of regional development and bearing in mind their role in trans-boundary cooperation in Europe.
