EIF assessment: Interoperability governance

EIF assessment: Interoperability governance ()

Interoperability governance refers to decisions on interoperability frameworks,
institutional arrangements, organisational structures, roles and responsibilities,
policies, agreements and other aspects of ensuring and monitoring interoperability
at national and EU levels.
The European interoperability framework, the Interoperability Action
Plan (Annex 1 to the Communication) and the European interoperability
architecture (EIRA) are important parts of interoperability governance at
the EU level.
