Parliament backs a single digital gateway for administrative services across the EU

Accessing and understanding information about public services and administrative issues and completing procedures with public authorities can be notoriously difficult and frustrating.

Currently, member states behave very differently when it comes to preventing, preparing for, and managing crisis situations.
