Government offices have changed in recent years, providing modern services using new ICT tools. The E-government Code has now created the legislative framework necessary to give legal value to innovations reorganising procedures and services and introducing entirely electronic procedure management. The Code is therefore a complex reform, a kind of "constitution" for the digital world, which takes into account citizens and businesses rights and government obligations. A White Paper, commissioned by the Minister for Innovation and Technologies and prepared by the Interministerial Working Group for document dematerialisation using digital support, looks at the economic benefits and greater efficiency to be gained from transforming paper documents to digital format
