Recital 1
Recital 1
(1) It is necessary to strengthen the development of cross-border interoperability of network and information systems which are used to provide or manage public services in the Union, to allow public administrations in the Union to cooperate and make public services function across borders. The existing informal cooperation should be replaced with a clear legal framework to enable interoperability across different administrative levels and sectors and to ensure seamless cross-border data flows for truly European digital services. Public sector interoperability has an important impact on the right to free movement of goods and services laid down in the Treaties, as burdensome administrative procedures can create significant obstacles, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (‘SMEs’). A successful development of cross-border public sector interoperability requires staff of public sector bodies to support Union objectives, such as the freedoms of movement. Therefore, a shared European emotion and identity should be promoted.

(2a) The aim to create a structured cooperation framework on cross-border interoperability set out in this Regulation should ensure that all citizens, including older persons, persons with disabilities and persons with limited access to digital services, have equal and easy access to public services. Cross-border interoperability requires basic network connections, such as cellular networks or wireless networks. However, especially in border regions or rural areas those network connections can possibly be underdeveloped or malfunction, which could undermine cross-border interoperability. Therefore, the Interoperable Europe Board should have the task to monitor the functioning and access to the required network connections for cross-border interoperability.

(2b) The development of cross-border legal, organisational, semantic and technical interoperability set out in this Regulation should in particular focus on legal interoperability, in order to facilitate the necessary swift access of businesses and citizens to legal information, faster procedures and services, which is crucial for the reduction of expensive administrative obstacles and for the strengthening of the proper functioning of the internal market and the associated freedoms of movement.

(28) It is necessary to enhance a good understanding of interoperability issues, especially among public sector employees. Continuous training is key in this respect and cooperrdination, mobility and coordinperation opportunities on the topic should be encouraged. Beyond trainings on Interoperable Europe solutions, all initiatives should, where appropriate, build on, or be accompanied by, the sharing of experience and solutions and the exchange and promotion of best practices.
