Low transparency of public administration Sample Clauses

Low transparency of public administration. Further weaknesses in public administration include the incomplete necessary reforms (e.g. a major reform of public administration in 1999), insufficient legislative environment for the functioning of the public administration, including the implementation of certain laws (such as the law governing the rights and status of civil servants in state administration) and little emphasis on the observance of all principles of good governance. There is insufficient use of analytical and evaluation capacities in order to increase transparency (e.g. in terms of audits, public procurements, etc.). The declining indicator of perception of corruption in the Czech Republic since 2008, which is published annually by the Transparency International, unambiguously confirms that corruption is a major social issue in the Czech Republic. In 2011, the CPI value dropped to 4.4 (on a scale of 0-10, the higher the value the better the results for the country) which placed the Czech Republic to the 24th position among the European countries.

The data, if published, are not adapted to the needs and demands of citizens. We can see large fluctuations in the use of eGovernment services by various users. Electronic registries were operated by 86 % of the state organisational units in 2011, which was an increase by 30 percentage points compared to 2005.

Compared to 2007, the average increase in the provision of the above services was only 2 percentage points. By contrast, in relation to citizens the statistics are currently rather unfavourable: a service for official electronic delivery system (data boxes) has only not even 0.5 % of active users aged over 18 years, and in terms of sending on-line forms to public authorities, the Czech Republic ranks last in the European Union. In 2007, only 29 % of the population benefited from electronic services for citizens, which places the Czech Republic far below the European average. The increase in the use of eGovernment services to 40 % in 2011 was contributed to by ...
