ABOUT THE PROJECT

SPOCS – Simple Procedures Online for Cross-border Services – has been set up thanks to the 2008 CIP ICT PSP Programme of Work and has officially begun on 1st May 2009. The ICT Policy Support Programme (or ICT PSP) aims at stimulating innovation and competitiveness through the wider uptake and best use of ICT by citizens, governments and businesses, including SMEs. SPOCS aims at building the second generation Points of Single Contact through the availability of high impact electronic procedures. The project builds on solutions developed in Member States as they implement the Services Directive. Therefore, its goal is cross border interoperability based on existing systems.
