Single Digital Gateway

What is it?

The single digital gateway is a single point of contact for citizens and businesses proving information about national and EU rules that affect the four freedoms guaranteed by the EU internal market.

Background

The European Union guarantees free movement of goods, services, persons and capital (the four freedoms of the EU). The internal market is meant to operate smoothly to the benefit of citizens and businesses in order for them to enjoy their four freedoms.

SDG

SDG was adoptedthrough Regulation (EU) 2018/1724 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 2 October 2018 establishing a single digital gateway to provide access to information, to procedures and to assistance and problem-solving services and amending Regulation (EU) No 1024/2012 (Text with EEA relevance.)

SDG essentially is an opinion on Your Europe website that provides access to:

• Information- reliable, qualitative information on EU and national rules that apply to the exercise the Single Market rights

• Procedures- information about administrative procedures

• Assistance services- list of EU or national assistance services that can provide assistance to users.

The SDG is available in all EU official Languages and is subjected to user-survey in order to guarantee the quality of information contained therein.

Future Developments

SDG is foreseeing opening up online access to 21 procedures necessary for the enjoyment of the four freedoms. This is meant to ensure that users will be able to comply with the national requirements for moving into another EU country online.
