European Commission project: The Once-Only Principle — TOOP

/0 Comments/in /by

The European Commission (EC) has launched an 8 million euro project to interconnect the public administrations from 21 EU countries in order for the transmission of information by cross-border companies to be made only once.

The project named “The Once-Only Principle — TOOP” is part of the EU Action Plan for e-Governance 2016-2020 and will contribute to a more efficient digital market. This way the information will be delivered to the public administrations only once, regardless of the origin country of the company, and will be eliminated the unnecessary obstacles for european companies that are forced to repeatedly submit the same data and documents.

The authorities who represent Romania in this project are National Institute of Research and Development in Computer Science (who is the national manager) and National Trade Register Office (partner).
