European public service provision often requires different public administrations
to work together to meet end users’ needs and provide public services in an
integrated way. When multiple organisations are involved there is a need for
coordination and governance by the authorities with a mandate for planning,
implementing and operating European public services. Services should be
governed to ensure: integration, seamless execution, reuse of services and data,
and development of new services and ‘building blocks’
