Trans-European networks for the electronic interchange of data between administrations IDA II: guidelines and projects

In presenting its amended proposal on guidelines, including the identification of projects of common interest, for trans-European networks for the electronic Interchange of Data between Administrations (IDA), the Commission accepts those of the European Parliament's proposals which contribute to a clearer motivation of the guidelines, to refining the political priorities, to improving both the structural and technical coherence of the IDA programme and to making it more transparent. It rejects those amendments which would establish cost-sharing only between the Community and the European Agencies, believing that this goes against the fundamental principle of the equitable share of costs between the Community and the Member States in the establishment of IDA networks. It further rejects those amendments which fail to respect the agreed standard text with on committee procedures.�
