Annex II : Draft common list of basic public services

For eGovernment, the following two indicators are the basis for benchmarking.

    • Percentage of basic public services available online,
    • Use of online public services by the public.

To make these indicators operational, Member States have agreed to a common list of 20 basic public services, 12 for citizens, and 8 for businesses. Progress in bringing these services online will be measured using a four-stage framework: 1 posting of information online; 2 one-way interaction; 3 two-way interaction; and, 4 full online transactions including delivery and payment. Data will be collected in surveys twice a year.
