Complete title:
eID – Easier access to public services across the EU

Description (short summary):
Several barriers to the free movement of workers still exist in the EU: for example, it is not easy to access public services while working or living in another country.

The European Commission launched the STORK (Secure idenTity acrOss boRders linKed) pilot project in order to remedy this situation with an EU-wide system for the recognition and authentication of electronic identity (eID via electronic cards or other means). It will enable businesses and citizens to securely use their national electronic identities and get help from public administrations in any Member State they live in or travel to.

The present document provides a description of the objectives, structure and expected impacts of this pilot project.
