Influence of the principle of interoperability on legal regulation

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to identify the legal problems connected with using the systems of technological interoperability in the society.

Design/methodology/approach

In the paper, the compared-legal method was applied. The legislation of Russia and that of European Union (EU) have been compared.

Findings

Generalizing about the problems identified in both Russia and the EU, it is possible to conclude that: States have to develop a coordinated, uniform security policy. Public administrations have to implement interoperable services for business and citizens. States have to introduce the required standards. It is necessary to forbid development or creation of any departmental technical specifications by public institutions or departments which are not coordinated with the larger transnational goals.

Originality/value

In the paper, the problems that arise in the states (Russia and EU) if they did not take into account the principle of interoperability are revealed. Legal mechanisms directed on permission of arising problems are described.
