Amendment 136 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8
Recital 8
(8) It is clear that citizens and businesses ('users') from other Member States can be at a disadvantage due to their lack of familiarity with the national rules and administrative systems, the differences in languages used and their lack of geographic proximity to the public authorities in those Member States. The most efficient way to reduce the ensuing obstacles to the internal market, is to enable cross-border users to get access to information online, in a language they can understand, to enable them to complete procedures for compliance with national rules fully online, where applicable, and to offer them assistance where rules and procedures are not clear enough or where they encounter obstacles in exercising their rights.
Amendment 140 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11
Recital 11
(11) This Regulation should establish a single entry point through which citizens and business should be able to access information about the rules and requirements they have to comply with, by virtue of Union and/or national law. It should simplify citizens' and businesses’ contact with the assistance and problem solving services, established at the Union or national level and make it more effective. The gateway should also facilitate access to and completion of procedures, where applicable. Therefore, this Regulation should require Member States to enable users to fully complete certain procedures online that are of key importance to the majority of citizens and businesses moving across borders, without affecting in any way the existing substantive requirements by virtue of Union and/or national law within those policy areas. In this context, the Regulation should support the use of the “once-only” principle for the purpose of the exchange of evidence between competent authorities in different Member States.
Amendment 208 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 5 – paragraph 1
Article 5 – paragraph 1
1. Member States shall ensure that where a procedure, referred to in Article 2(2)(b), established at national level, can be accessed and completed online by users of that Member State, it can be also accessed and completed by users of other Member States in a non-discriminatory way, where applicable.
