In recent months we have witnessed a hasty movement in the local area is the adoption of specific ordinances in the field of eGovernment. Beyond mere compliance with Law 11/2007 before December 31, 2009 and the controversy about how interpret the presence or absence of available funding, the process of technological modernization that are embedded in local authority should be seen as an opportunity to rethink the procedures and information flows, so that when it identifies the existence of an obstacle or barrier to effectiveness of administrative modernization in harnessing technology to resolve it. In particular, the use of electronic means can be a great opportunity to eliminate paperwork and documentation requirements, from practice, have proved unnecessary or inappropriate, giving technical parameters from more regulation appropriate. In particular, the right accorded to citizens under Article 35.f) of LRJAP-no longer produce documents held by the local authority, can be solved in a better measure if properly articulated system of access to electronic information all with full respect for the rules on data protection. Moreover, during this process can be detected and regulatory provisions, in general, legal guarantees are outdated and, therefore, need of an update from a technological perspective.
However, this approach can succeed only when you find the right leadership and support for authorities and staff to the municipal administration. In particular, it is essential that one of the team members push the government to take administrative modernization project as part of their powers, while it must provide a cross-sectional area of \u200b\u200bthe remaining functions of the councils, so that the whole organization receives its leading role in the process and the various energies can be channeled and special initiatives throughout the project. This dynamic is essential for the development of a municipal ordinance on the matter, so that the doubts and problems are solved in an efficient and motivated, driven to his leadership. No However, given the claim that the ordinance takes into account the conditions, limits and requirements of the administration, is also fundamental that has a team of contributors who provide the daily management perspective, being transcendental is not owned or exclusive or majority to municipal information service. Beyond
to effectiveness from this perspective, the effectiveness constitutionally required (Article 103) also calls for an interpretation from the perspective of the rights of citizens. Indeed, apart from the benefits and possibilities that technological modernization offers from an internal perspective, investment and the effort involved in e-government must be justified from a democratic perspective of citizen service, and in this sense, the ordinance should serve to define and strengthen its legal position in relations with the Administration. Otherwise, their confidence in the fears and risks of technology can be affected, even to be perceived as a threat rather than an opportunity. In this regard, overcoming the limitations and constraints imposed by technology, the possibilities of communication with citizens and these with the local authority to it from the widest possible perspective, with special emphasis in services that can provide added value to the citizen, as is the case with the regulation of electronic records.
Third, although in close connection with the above discussion, the adoption of the ordinance on eGovernment should be seen as an element to strengthen legal certainty, both from a management perspective and from an external account in relations with citizens. In this regard, it should express the need to ensure the submission to law and technology, from this perspective, the adoption of the ordinance, provided that you include appropriate estimates can be considered the occasion to show that legal safeguards are not an obstacle but rather a requirement and a requirement inexcusable.
Ultimately, the adoption of the ordinance eGovernment is an unavoidable requirement to comply with the provisions of the LAE, although, it must be noted that the new regulation is basic and certainly presents a complete and legal framework systematic, therefore, would adopt an ordinance based on a minimal approach, proceeding without the application of state regulation. However, since detailed, has introduced the LAE criteria mainly based on flexibility, so that sometimes, as with the identification and authentication, allows for different and multiple options must be specified in each municipality in addressing their needs and requirements, cases in which results from great importance to have a project and clearly defined institutional leadership. At other times, however, still requires the basic regulation is left to each local entity specific conditions and requirements to comply with the legal-case, for example, the electronic bulletin boards or / Virtual ads, so that the electronic instruments to adapt to local peculiarities, in particular, for each organization.
