Amendment 46 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 7
(7) Digital skills, basic and advanced, are essential to reinforce the collective resilience of the Union’s society. Digitally empowered and capable citizens will be able to take advantage of the opportunities of the Digital Decade. Moreover, digital training and education should support a workforce in which people can acquire specialised digital skills to get quality jobs and rewarding careers in much greater numbers than today, with convergence between women and men. The efficiency of digital trainings provided by the employers in the form of learning-by- doing should also be empowered. The non-formal learning in the workplace should deliver digital skills tailored to the market needs, therefore such learning should be equivalently recognised, promoted and measured. In addition, an essential enabler for taking advantage of the benefits of digitisation, for further technological developments and for Europe’s digital leadership is a sustainable digital infrastructure for connectivity, microelectronics and the ability to process vast data. Excellent and secure connectivity for everybody and everywhere in Europe including in rural and remote areas40 is needed. Societal needs for upload and download bandwidth are constantly growing. By 2030, networks with gigabit speeds should become available at accessible conditions for all those who need or wish such capacity. Moreover, microprocessors which are already today at the start of most of the key, strategic value chains are expected to be in even higher demand in the future, in particular the most innovative ones. Climate neutral highly secure edge node guaranteeing access to data services with low latency wherever businesses are located and quantum capacity are also expected to be critical enablers. _________________ 40 Long-term Vision for the EU’s Rural Areas.

Amendment 54 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 8 a (new)
(8a) Digitalization should not be the goal in itself, but rather the tool for the results to deliver for citizens. Digitalisation should provide less bureaucracy and quicker, less financially demanding and more efficient public administration. If used in a good way, digitalisation has the potential to enhance the quality of education, health or public administration, but if implemented in a wrong way, it can harm public budgets.

Committee: IMCO
Amendment 55 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 8 b (new)
(8b) Public administrations have a responsibility towards citizens to exercise care in their use of public spending in all areas, including digitalisation. Maximising the effectiveness and efficiency of expenditure in digitalisation secures the greatest value from spending decisions and helps to avoid waste, errors, fraud and corruption. It is therefore necessary to monitor and enhance the principles of good financial governance, plan, publish and monitor national and European spending on digitalisation.

Committee: IMCO
Amendment 56 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 8 c (new)
(8c) Public digital services will provide added value to citizens, mainly by providing easy to use, useful, simple and ‘trustworthy’ services. It means that greater ease of use can improve performance, allowing the user to produce more with the same effort. Usefulness refers to enhancing job performance of a person due to the use of a particular technology. The simplicity indicator refers to the process of user interaction with the services, considering the usability of the services. The delivery process should not demand redundant steps or too much bureaucracy. The “trustworthy” indicator refers to the security of the system used to provide the service and also to the trust in the institution that provides the service.

Amendment 57 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 8 d (new)
(8d) As collecting information is in principle more expensive and burdensome than sharing already collected information, Member States should aim to and incorporate the “once-only” principle, which in the context of the public sector means that citizens and businesses supply diverse data only once to a public administration.

Committee: IMCO
Amendment 59 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 9
(9) Democratic life and public services will also crucially depend on digital technologies and therefore they should be fully accessible for everyone, as a best–in- class digital environment providing for easy-to-use, efficient and personalised services and tools with high security and privacy standards. The high security should be reported through a common set of key performance indicators and the comparable set of detailed transparent information on how Member States are approaching the concerns of security should be published.
2022/02/22
Committee: IMCO
Amendment 60 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 9 a (new)
(9a) Public digital services should fulfil the core principles in accordance with the OECD recommendations for digital government. The “digital by design” principle should ensure that when the government proposes digital technologies, it should rethink and re-engineer public processes, simplify procedures, and create new channels of communication and engagement with stakeholders. Data- driven public sector establishes data as a strategic asset and promotes access, sharing and re-use mechanisms for improved decision making and service design and delivery. The “government as a platform” principle should ensure that a wide range of platforms, standards and tools to foster integration and coherence in the public sector focuses on users’ needs in public services. The public government data and policy-making processes (including algorithms) should be opened by default, within the limits of existing legislation and balancing the public interest. Pro-activeness ensures that a government anticipates people’s needs and responds to them rapidly, avoiding the need for cumbersome data and service delivery processes.

Amendment 65 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 11
(11) A harmonious, inclusive and steady progress towards the digital transformation and towards the achievement of the digital targets in the Union, requires a comprehensive, robust, reliable, flexible and transparent form of governance, based on close cooperation and coordination between the Union institutions, bodies and agencies, and the Member States. An appropriate mechanism should ensure coordination of convergence, transfer of best practices and the consistency and effectiveness of policies and measures at Union and national level. Therefore, it is necessary to lay down provisions on a monitoring and cooperation mechanism implementing the Digital Compass Communication.

Amendment 67 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 13
(13) The Digital Economy and Society Index (‘DESI’)41 should become a part of the report on the state of the Digital Decade and should be used to monitor the progress towards the digital targets and not only the output, but especially the results and impact of the programme. This monitoring should include an analysis of the indicators measuring progress at Member States’ level, national policies and initiatives aimed at reaching the objectives of this Decision and the targets as well as horizontal and thematic analyses tracking the digital transformation of European economies and a ranking of Member States progress therein. In particular, DESI’s dimensions and indicators should be aligned with digital targets set out in this Decision. For each digital target, key performance indicators (‘KPIs) should be set out in implementing acts to be adopted by the Commission. The KPIs should be updated when necessary for continued effective monitoring and to take account of technological developments. The data collection mechanism within Member States should be reinforced to present a thorough state of play on the progress towards the digital targets, as well as information on the relevant policies, programmes, and initiatives at national level. Based on the reviews and where needed, the Commission should prepare, in consultation with the Member States, a roadmap to set out future data collection needs. . In defining the DESI, the Commission should rely largely on official statistics collected in different Union surveys on the information society42 . The Commission should use specific studies to collect data for those relevant indicators that are not measured in the Union surveys. _________________ 41 DESI is an annual set of analyses and measurement indicators, which since 2014 have been used to monitor Europe’s overall progress and to benchmark individual Member States’ progress in digital, feeding into the European Semester process and the country specific recommendations. 42 Regulation (EC) No 1006/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 amending Regulation (EC) No 808/2004 concerning Community statistics on the information society (OJ L 286, 31.10.2009, p. 31–35).
