Single Digital Gateway Explained

Platform

The single digital gateway is an EU-wide government information platform for citizens and businesses.^[1] It consists of one central EU website in all official languages of the EU (Your Europe^[2]) and a network of national and municipal portals in all EU and EFTA countries in the national language and at least one other commonly understood language.

Your Europe exists since 2006. In 2018 the European Parliament and the Council adopted a  single digital gateway regulation giving the network a legal basis.

To make sure procedures can be completed online, and that citizens and businesses can submit the necessary official documents and data according to the “once-only” principle, EU and national authorities created a technical infrastructure to which authorities can connect.
