Trans-European networks for the electronic interchange of data between administrations IDA II: interoperability

The Committee adopted the report by Ms. Mel READ (PES, UK) approving the Commission Proposals setting up trans-European networks for electronic Interchange of Data between Administrations (IDA).The IDA programme was set up in 1995, but was later annulled by the ECJ as a result of legal action brought by the European Parliament. These two proposals thus seek to establish a new legal framework for the IDA programme. The proposal sets out a number of concrete actions and measures to be undertaken in order to ensure interoperability and access to IDA-TEN:s. This proposal was also approved by the Committee subject to several amendments which essentially mirror amendments to the first proposal. �
