Tax Transparency in Latin America 2021: Punta del Este Declaration Progress R...OECDtax
This document summarizes progress on tax transparency and exchange of information in Latin America. It finds that while commitments to transparency have grown, with most countries signing the Punta del Este Declaration, capacity for exchange of information still varies significantly between countries. It also reports that exchange of information requests from Latin American countries have yielded over EUR 298 million in additional tax revenue from 2014 to 2020. Going forward, further technical assistance is needed to fully implement transparency standards and help countries make greater use of automatic exchange of information.
Tax Transparency in Africa 2020: Africa Initiative Progress Report 2019OECDtax
This document summarizes a presentation on tax transparency in Africa. It finds that illicit financial flows from Africa range from $50-80 billion annually, with tax evasion being a major contributor. To address this, the Global Forum has launched an Africa Initiative to promote tax transparency and exchange of information. This involves partnerships between the Global Forum and 32 African member countries and organizations. The initiative aims to measure progress in expanding exchange of information networks and infrastructure in African countries. While use of exchange of information is increasing, more efforts are still needed to fully unlock its potential to combat tax evasion.

Experience and strategy of Spain in eGovernment: three keys to sucess, the ba...Miguel A. Amutio
The three keys to Spain's success with eGovernment according to the speaker are: 1) Establishing a strong legal framework centered around the eGovernment Law, 2) Developing common infrastructures and services, and 3) Fostering strong collaboration between public administrations. Some of the main accomplishments highlighted include implementing a National Security Framework and National Interoperability Framework, developing services like the Red SARA communications platform, and facilitating collaboration through committees and working groups.
The document discusses the upcoming European Commission eGovernment Action Plan for 2016-2020. The action plan will focus on three pillars: 1) Digitalizing public administration with ICT, 2) Enabling cross-border mobility with digital public services, and 3) Facilitating participation in policymaking and co-creation of services. It will implement objectives agreed at the EU level and allow citizens to suggest voluntary actions. A stakeholder consultation platform will crowdsource ideas, apply selection criteria, and monitor implementation of actions using data. The overall goal is to modernize public administration and facilitate interaction between governments and citizens/businesses across Europe.
Strategy and experience of Spain in interoperability for eGovernment. Governm...Miguel A. Amutio
(1) Spain has developed a comprehensive legal framework and National Interoperability Framework (NIF) to govern e-government and ensure interoperability between different levels of public administration. (2) Common infrastructures and services like communications platforms, electronic identification, and notification systems have been built to support interoperability. (3) Strong cooperation between national and regional governments, through committees and working groups, has contributed to the development of e-government and achievement of interoperability in Spain.
The document discusses the European Union's Digital Single Market initiative. It aims to create a unified digital economic area in the EU by ensuring the free movement of data, goods, services, and people online. The three pillars of the strategy are improving access to digital content across borders for consumers and businesses, establishing policies to foster innovation in digital technologies, and maximizing growth of the EU's digital economy. Some key policies mentioned include ending roaming charges, harmonizing e-commerce rules, reforming data and privacy regulations, and increasing cybersecurity. The overall goal is to facilitate a digital marketplace in Europe and help EU businesses compete globally online.
Digital transformation in the Spanish Government Miguel A. Amutio
Digital transformation in the Spanish government is proceeding according to several key pillars:
1) A strong legal framework provides certainty for digital services and management of information.
2) Cooperation and governance models ensure legal frameworks can be implemented across regional governments.
3) Important digital services have been provided that fulfill objectives of the legal framework, such as electronic signatures and records exchange.
- The document discusses cross-border e-services between Portugal and Spain, including mutual recognition of national ID cards which allows access to services in both countries.
- Key projects include online company registration and students using eID cards to access university services while studying abroad.
- Challenges include legal and security issues around identity verification and interoperability, but bilateral agreements and standards like the Malmo Declaration support closer cooperation.
Developments in e-Government: A comparative analysis between Ireland and The ...Studievereniging VRiSBI
The name that is given to the use of electronic means to deliver better government is E-government. It is important to note that E-government can never be a goal in itself; it is a way to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the government and its communications. In this paper, we compare the developments and integration of services regarding E-government in Ireland and The Netherlands. We looked at problems that were encountered by both countries, and how they were dealt with. Based on these findings, we formulated an advice on how to make further improvements to E-Government facilities in the near future for both countries.
Our research showed us several interesting things. What we saw was that developments and growth in E-Government Services and registered E-Government users in Ireland fall behind compared to the same kind of developments and growth going on in The Netherlands. There is not one cause that we can name for this outcome, but several reasons became clear during our research. The low internet penetration in Ireland could be one cause, only 52% of the population has an internet connection. Other reasons are that Irish people have always been suspicious regarding their government and the lack of a killer application.
The document discusses eGovernment in Greece. It finds that Greece lags behind the EU average in many digital indicators, especially broadband access, ecommerce, and education technology.

Key projects include expanding broadband access, integrating tax and social security systems, implementing CRM and ERP systems, and creating centralized data centers. The goal is to improve public services, increase efficiency and transparency, and enhance digital inclusion.
The Digital Europe programme will reinforce the EU's digital capacities in high performance computing, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity. It aims to ensure these capacities are widely rolled out and used to their full potential across the economy and society. The programme focuses on deploying and scaling up key digital technologies while also developing advanced digital skills.

The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
