Translation of "authentification de la procédure " (French → English) :

To achieve effective and uniform authentication of euro coins throughout the euro area it is therefore necessary to introduce binding rules for the implementation of common procedures for the authentication of euro coins in circulation and for the implementation of control mechanisms of those procedures by the national authorities.

To coordinate the implementation of the authentication procedures, the details of testing and training requirements for coin authentication, the specifications for checking euro coins unfit for circulation and other practical implementation provisions should be further determined by the European Technical and Scientific Centre (ETSC) established by Commission Decision 2005/37/EC (5), after having consulted the counterfeit coin experts group referred to in that Decision.

ACTIONS The Commission will: Key Action 16: Propose by 2012 a Council and Parliament Decision to ensure mutual recognition of e-identification and e-authentication across the EU based on online 'authentication services' to be offered in all Member States (which may use the most appropriate official citizen documents – issued by the public or the private sector); Other actions: Support seamless cross-border eGovernment services in the single market through the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (CIP) and Interoperability Solutions for European Public Administrations (ISA) Programme; Review by 2011 the Public access to Environmenta ...[+++]l Information Directive; [62] Work with Member States and stakeholders to implement cross-border eEnvironment services, notably advanced sensor networks; Define by 2011 concrete steps in a White Paper on how to inter-connect e-procurement capacity across the single market; Lead by example on open and transparent eGovernment by creating in 2010 and implementing an ambitious eCommission 2011-2015 action plan, including full electronic procurement.

This includes the implementation of seamless eProcurement as well as practical e-identification and e-authentication cross border services (including mutual recognition of security levels for authentication)[61].

These would include: payment items acceptable for exchange, clearing or settlement; standards and procedures regarding these; settlements and related matters; authenticity and integrity of payment items and messages; and the identification and authentication of members and other persons.

Furthermore, some of the recent examinations have sought to limit the concept of client recognition, requiring re- identification upon every transaction rather than relying on security measures that are fairly industry-standard such as tokens.
