Political commitment
Via Oberta is in full compliance with the right of citizens and companies not to provide the data and documents that are open to public administrations recognized by Law 11/2007 of June 22, electronic access of citizens to public services (art.6.2, letter b) and Law 26/2010 on the legal regime and procedure of the public administrations of Catalonia (article 25.4).
Motivations, benefits, public value
Both the administrations, as well as society in general, earn:
- Citizens and companies save in their procedures with the administration, not having to supply and provide documentation that is already in the possession of other public institutions.
- Public institutions save, because they are released from the administrative and economic burden of issuing certificates 'on paper' and because the automation of access to data by the administrations that process translates into a decrease of errors in the data and in files that incorporate truthful and up-to-date information, with the consequent procedural economy that this represents.
Therefore, the intensive use of the services of Via Oberta allows not only to comply with the law, but to gain efficiency and competitiveness, save money and at the same time be more respectful with the environment.
