2. The legislative framework and the interface with the govgr
Free movement - of goods, services, capital and people - is a fundamental principle of the European Union.
In 2018, the EU adopts Regulation (EU) 2018/1724 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 2 October 2018, for the creation of a Single Digital Portal, with the aim of free access to information, procedures and support and problem-solving services, needed citizens to live and work and businesses to operate in another EU country. The Regulation has immediate effect and does not require its incorporation into the law of the member states.
By 2023, Your Europe will offer:
Access to 21 digitized procedures in all EU countries: The most important administrative procedures for cross-border users will be fully available online with clear user instructions in all EU Member States.
- Digital public services without borders: Wherever you are based in the EU, you should be able to access the online processes that matter to you in each country, just like the residents of that country.
- The “Once only” principle: Users will only need to submit documents or data (e.g. vehicle registration) once, they do not need to submit them again to an authority if another authority in the EU already has them . Cross-border exchange of information means that authorities in different EU countries can share documents and data
The organization and presentation of the Greek content, in the framework of the implementation of the Regulation, is provided through the "Guide to Greece" website of the govgr. The European citizen is directed by Your Europe to the "Greece Guide", where he has:
- access to the information and procedures prescribed by the Regulation,
- possibility to redirect to the website of the Responsible Body and/or the National Contact Point, as well as to the National Register of Procedures,
- free use of the support service feedback and locator tools
The govgr's "Guide to Greece" has also been implemented in English, "Your guide to Greece".
