KRANJ, 14.2.2008 – Improvements of public administration work are among the main goals of the Lisbon strategy, which has already been ratified by Slovenia. Genis has presented its latest solutions for the connecting and automation of public administration work at eGovernment Days, which were held from 11. to 13. February at Brdo pri Kranju. At the event, Genis presented interoperability solutions which simplify the work of officials, for instance the PanEU service for a residency application or company registration in Slovenia, IO-Kindergartens for decision-making on handling reduced kindergarten payment applications and e-Births for the automated registration of newborns in public registers. Eminent guests, including Siim Kallas, vice-president of the European Commission, could test live in  person the PanEU solution which enables European citizens to register a permanent or temporary residency and register single-member companies in Slovenia on-line, using a valid digital certificate.

 
Slovenian public administration can offer European Union member states and pan European institutions numerous good practices on developing quality electronic services which improve efficiency and friendliness of public administrations in accordance with the eGovernment Action Plan i2010.

"Slovenian public administration is among the most advanced in Europe in the field of interoperability, which is due to careful investments in informatization of basic public registers," emphasized Stane Štefančič, director of Genis.

Slovenian public administration has taken an excellent second place in European Union at the most recent electronic services development survey.  Advanced services which are being promptly implemented are designed on quality back office system which consists of national registers, such as Central Population Register, Register of Civil Status and Register of Permanent Population.

"Genis is proud that practically the whole of Europe acknowledges our public registers information solutions as good practice.  By collaborating on projects, such as PanEU, we will try to assert Genis's solutions also in a wider European context," added Štefančič.

PanEU – connecting registers among EU countries
Genis has developed a web service for registering a permanent or temporary residence in Slovenia for EU citizens.  This service enables the fast acquiring of a PIN and tax number upon submission of valid certified foreign digital certificate. This way, EU citizens can file applications for acquiring permanent or temporary residence in Slovenia faster, without Administration Unit procedures and public administration procedures are also substantially shortened. With acquired Slovenian identificators, obtained through a preliminary registration procedure, users can also use all the other electronic services of Slovenian public administration.
