The 5th Ministerial eGovernment Conference under the title ‘Teaming up for the eUnion’ took place on 19-20 November in Malmö and it was jointly organised by the European Commission and the Swedish Presidency of the EU.
The European eGovernment Awards is an initiative of the European Commission organised every two years, and coinciding with high-level EU eGovernment conferences. Launched in 2003, the Awards aim at supporting the implementation of European eGovernment policy and strategies through the promotion of the best Information and Communication Technologies ICT-based solutions for public services and the facilitation of good practice exchange.
52 finalists exhibited at the Conference, selected from a total of 259 submitted cases. On the day prior to the Conference the finalists’ exhibition stands were visited by participants at the Ministerial meeting, including key decision makers from the Member States and European Commission. During this tour the EULIS team of three, Gerard Leenders (The Netherlands), John O’Sullivan (Ireland) and Stefan Gustafsson (Sweden) received their official finalist certificate.
EULIS was selected as a nominee for the Best Practice Label and was among the top three entries into the category of eGovernment supporting the Single Market. Winners of each category can be seen on the eGovernment awards website.

Visitors to the stand were able to see a live demonstration of the EULIS service, as well as pick up literature to find further information. One-page summaries about the EULIS project in French, German, Spanish, Swedish and English were also available.
“We are very pleased to have been recognised for EULIS’ contribution towards supporting the Single Market through eGovernment”’ says Bengt Kjellson EULIS Board Chairman, “we will strive further to increase the success of our service and involve more land registry organisations in Europe” he adds.
