Community contribution for telematic interchange of data between administrations in the Community (IDA), 1995-1997

 
The IDA programme was established in November 1995 by Council Decision 95/468/EC. The purpose of this Decision is to determine the Community contribution to certain projects in the field of telematic interchange of data between administrations with a view to facilitating cooperation between them.

The IDA home page on the World Wide Web provides updates on all aspects of the programme, including summaries and practical descriptions of the telematics projects currently being supported by IDA. The IDA home page is located at:

http://www.ispo.cec.be/ida/idahome.htm

It should be noted that the IDA programme is not a research and development programme.
To improve the efficiency of the internal market by allowing administrations to exchange essential information via interoperable telematics networks. It is aimed at coordinating the development and implementation of telematics applications and services that enable national and European level administrations to transfer information in a number of critical areas.

. Data structure and reference model involving definition of common architecture rules, standardization activities and practical implementation, in particular NSPP (National Service Pilot Projects);
. Legal and contractual framework and quality control;

- Support to the European Agencies for preparatory measures for telematics interchange of data (European Environment Agency, Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market, European Agency for the Evaluation of Medical Products, European Monitoring Centre on Drug and Drug Addiction, and the European Union's Translation Centre);
