Translation of "sécurité administrative " (French → English) :

2. ‘Government’ means the sector of ‘general government’ (S.13), that is ‘central government’ (S.1311), ‘state government’ (S.1312), ‘local government’ (S.1313) and ‘social security funds’ (S.1314), to the exclusion of commercial operations, as defined in ESA 95.

Having regard to Article 81(d) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 (1), under which the Administrative Commission shall foster and develop cooperation between Member States by modernising procedures for exchange of information, in particular by adapting the information flow between institutions for the purpose of telematic exchange, taking account of the development of data processing in each Member State, the main aim of such modernisation shall be to expedite the award of benefits,

enhancing trade, development and security by strengthening customs cooperation in order to ensure the security of persons and goods in transit; in this regard, the WCO already offers a framework of standards on the security of world trade; cooperation between the two partners should also be strengthened by adopting security standards, particularly as regards air cargo traffic, improved cooperation in research and development of security-related technologies, better compatibility of the EU's Authorised Economic Operator concept and the US Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT), measures to facilitate business and tourist travel ("trusted ...[+++] persons" initiative) and a policy of reciprocal visa exempt travel for short-term stays.

2.72. Definition: The State government subsector consists of state governments which are separate institutional units exercising some of the functions of government at a level below that of central government and above that of the governmental institutional units existing at local level, except for the administration of social security funds.

4.117. Definition: Current transfers within general government (D.73) include transfers between the different subsectors of general government (central government, state government, local government, social security funds) with the exception of taxes, subsidies, investment grants and other capital transfers.

However, the EDPS stresses that this ‘common secure framework’, to be defined by the Administrative Commission for the Coordination of Social Systems (15), should duly take into account the recommendations issued by the IDABC programme (16) (Interoperable Delivery of European e-Government Services to public Administrations, Businesses and Citizens) relating to Community data protection provisions, and in particular those relating to the security of processing (Article 17 of the Directive).
