The Legal framework is an important aspect of eGov readiness.
It provides legal certainty to eGov.
Spain has a sound and comprehensive legal framework for eGov,
oriented to implement the legal safeguards that exist in the real world to the virtual world.
The eGov Law 11/2007 regulates:
– Principles and rights: citizens’ right to interact with Public Administration by
electronic means -> obligation to P.A.s to enable electronic access to their services.
– Basic aspects of IT use in eGov: e-site, e-registries, e-identification, e-
communications, e-notifications, electronic administrative procedure, e-documents, e-file, e-archive
– Cooperation of Public Administrations to facilitate access to services.
+ Legal development of Law 11/2007: National interoperability and security frameworks, others

MINISTERIO
DE HACIENDA

Spain is struggling to go out of a deep crisis with high unemployment rates, small
credit availability and high risk of poverty and exclusion of the population.
This year the GDP has decreased, driving the country to recession levels.
Unemployment reaches more than 22%, a figure difficult to sustain for a developed country, and far
away of countries of our entourage.
Within the Government, budget has been severely reduced.
It is more necessary that ever:
To adapt to fast changing needs and policies and contribute to economic objectives.
To optimize investments and resources to maintain the offer of quality public services.
20. Room for improvement

In organizational structures to improve coordination.
In the design and promotion of use of eGov services.
In the optimization of ICT procurement to achieve a better
optimization of spending.
In the use of ICT resources to reduce or eliminate redundancies
and islands.
In the use of the possibilities offered by
innovative ICT .
