A few months following the publication of a first set of technical interoperability standards for eGovernment in the Official State Gazette of 30 July 2011, their respective implementation guides and manuals were made available on 18 October 2011, at www.mpt.gob.es/es/publicaciones/centro_de_publicaciones_de_la_sgt.html. Both types of documents can also be found together with all related information on the government portal dedicated to eGovernment, here.

The legal basis for the technical interoperability standards is found in the Royal Decree 4/2010 of 8 January 2010 which regulates the National Interoperability Framework ('Esquema Nacional de Interoperabilidad' in Spanish - ENI).

A report on the status of eGovernment in Spain was submitted to the Council of Ministers on 16 September 2011. It outlines the development of eGovernment and its future challenges, which will constitute a part of an upcoming strategy document with an implementation period until 2015.

The report, which was presented by the Vice President of Territorial Policy, examines the development of online service delivery to citizens since the adoption of the Law on Citizens' Electronic Access to Public Services (eGovernment Law) in 2007. In this regard, it stresses Spain's strong momentum in recent years to position itself among the ten most advanced countries in this area and the fifth at the European level, according to the latest UN and the EU benchmark measurements.

Since 16 March 2011, the Public Procurement Services Platform(PSCP) of the Government of the Autonomous Region of Catalonia has been using the iArxiu Plaftorm, a digital preservation and electronic archiving service developed by the Catalan Certification Agency (CATCert) and aimed at all regional and local public authorities.

PSCP makes use of this service in order to transfer into the electronic archive of iArxiu the various contracting documents that must be published in the frame of the public procurement process (documentation relating to the calls for tender, the awarding of contracts, formal approvals), together with the pertinent logs and the electronic signatures.

The Autonomous Community (region) of Madrid has now joined the 'Electronic Health Records of the National Health System' (Historia Clínica Digital del Sistema Nacional de Salud - HCDSNS, in Spanish), a project of the Spanish Ministry of Health, Social Policy and Equality.

HCDSNS is aimed at ensuring that citizens and health professionals can access important patient health data from anywhere in Spain with the assurance that these data are accessible to authorised persons only. This means that when citizens are travelling outside their home regions and need healthcare, the physicians who will deal with their case will be able to view their most important health data.
