The general framework of the eGovernment in Andalusia

current situation and regulatory needs

Abstract

Administración electrónicaAt the beginning of this Century, Andalusia became a world reference on developments of eGovernment, and adopted appropriate rules in the legal field. After the adoption of the Act Nr. 11/2007, on electronic access of citizens to the public services, has maintained a leading position in the eGovernment, but has completely neglected the legal regulation. Currently, the need to issue rules concerning eGovernment is imperative, as is now in question the effective exercise of basic rights recognized by the law. This paper sets out the situation that presents the eGovernment in Andalusia, the extent of the autonomic decision–making power in this field, and its existing regulations, and stresses the need to address a major legal activity in implementation of the referrals arising from the 11/2007 Act.
