Report from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council. Results of the final evaluation of the ISA programme

By decision of the European Parliament and the Council (the ISA Decision), the six year programme on interoperability solutions for European public administrations (the ISA programme) was launched on 1 January 2010 as a follow-on to the programme on the interoperable delivery of panEuropean egovernment services to public administrations, businesses and citizens (IDABC). It was implemented from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2015.

The objective of the ISA programme was to support cooperation between European public administrations by facilitating efficient and effective electronic cross-border and cross-sectoral interaction between them (including bodies performing public functions on their behalf), with a view to enabling the delivery of electronic public services supporting the implementation of EU policies and activities.

This Report presents the main results of the final evaluation of the programme. During the final evaluation the Commission was assisted by a team of independent experts from a consultancy company (the final evaluation team). Representatives of relevant Commission services oversaw the final evaluation through a Commission steering group.
