Winnaars e-Government Awards
The winners of the 2009 European eGovernment Awards have been announced today at the eGovernment Ministerial Conference in Malmö (Sweden). The awarded projects were selected for their innovative contribution to increasing the efficiency of public services through the use of digital technologies. In their respective categories the winners are: the European Order for Payment Application (Austria and Germany), Genvej (Denmark), the Italian Public Administration eMarketplace (Italy) and Licensing of Hunters via the "Multibanco" ATM Network (Portugal).
Commenting on the announcement, Mechthild Rohen, Head of the ICT for Government and Public Services Unit at the European Commission, said: "These Awards are a tangible result of the excellent work done by local, regional and national administrations in Europe to facilitate the life of citizens and businesses through better and easier-to-use online public services. The European Commission has been supporting the eGovernment Awards since 2003. This year's edition is particularly important in light of the new commitment set out by the EU ministers in the eGovernment Ministerial Declaration announced today in Malmö, to make online public services more accessible and in line with users' needs."
The awarded projects have been selected among 52 finalists from 17 European countries. They have been recognised for their efforts to deploy innovative online public services in their respective countries and cross-borderly.
Bij de finalisten zaten o.a de projecten "Aan de slag. Overheidssteun voor banen" [1] en de digitale verwerking en automatisch versturen van inschrijvingsattesten (AVIA) [2].
