Connect the countries

• Commission decided to carry out Pilot– No clear communication about pilot, but plan is to connect MS’s to

EULIS this was not clear to all participants– Not well defined scope (including new portal?)– Approval Director General – Budget more than 500K€ approval DG ECFIN

• 3 groups for connection: – already connected countries--> “reconnection”– new connections: full live connections– parallel connections E&W and MK

• Challenge: new countries have different conditions – payed service <-> free of charge; – Authorised access <-> open access

www.eulis.eu

Interconnection project: EULIS viewDefine project: goal, scope, result, (fin) resource, communication• Scope:

– Migration and upgrading EULIS– Connection of countries– Arrange ownership incl technical and functional maintenance

• Basic questions: – In what order to migrate and connect? First to connect– How to upgrade the functionality of the portal Keep it simple– What is role of EULIS EEIG during and after the project?

• Prepare detailed plan for implementation (activities, resources, timing)

www.eulis.eu

Strategy for connection

• Make it as simple as possible– Only technical connection– A-synchronic connection if required: like Spain– Payment module makes it complex

• How to avoid the payment module:– No payment for information – EU take cares for payment: budget financing– Credit card payment: appears a good alternative

• Later in time further upgrade of functionality

www.eulis.eu

Connection of countries

3 phases:•Preparatory activities

– Overall plan– Answer the questions (order of work, functionality)– Check situation of connecting countries– Analyse result and requirements– Communication

•Central level activities– Prepare detail plan for EULIS upgrade– Implement upgraded portal

•Country level– Prepare connection plan – Upgrade IT solution MS and other provisions– Connect the country to the portal

www.eulis.eu

Migration of EULIS

• Design architecture of the new portal• Decision of the WP e-Justice: EULIS+

Nb: feasibility report gives no details about design

Nb: assumption that new portal has no (major) consequences for the existing connections

• Determine the functionality of the portal– 2 steps:

• simple upgrade to accommodate new connections

• Develop more functionality based on need analysis
