Article 7 U.K. Prioritisation

1. Subject to paragraph 2, all actions that meet the eligibility criteria shall be prioritised in accordance with the following prioritisation criteria:

(a) the contribution of the action to the interoperability landscape, measured by the importance and necessity of the action to complete the interoperability landscape across the Union;

(b) the scope of the action, measured by its horizontal impact, once completed, across the sectors concerned;

(c) the geographical reach of the action, measured by the number of Member States and of European public administrations involved;

(d) the urgency of the action, measured by its potential impact, taking into account the lack of other funding sources;

(e) the re-usability of the action, measured by the extent to which its results can be re-used;

(f) the re-use by the action of existing common frameworks and elements of interoperability solutions;

(g) the link of the action with Union initiatives to be measured by the collaboration and contribution level of the action to Union initiatives such as the DSM.

2. The prioritisation criteria referred to in paragraph 1 shall be of equal value. Eligible actions fulfilling more criteria than other eligible actions shall be given higher priority to be included in the rolling work programme.
