Deutschland-Online (2003 - 2006)

To foster proper coordination and cooperation between the Federal Government, Federal States and local authorities, the ‘Deutschland-Online’ joint strategy for integrated eGovernment was devised in 2003. First proposed by the Federal Minister of the Interior Otto Schily in March 2003, the partnership was agreed by Federal Chancellor Gerhard Schröder and the heads of state government on 26 June 2003. Local authorities took part in the agreement through their representative associations. The Deutschland-Online strategy, drawing on the strengths of federalism, provided the framework for cooperation between all administration layers, based on the following five priorities: development of integrated eServices for citizens and businesses; interconnection of Internet portals; development of common infrastructures; development of common standards; experience and knowledge transfer.
