 Yn ymlaen i'r ddweud yng Nghymru, Paul Caffee, yng nghymru ddechrau Llywodraeth neu Llywodraeth yn ddweud yng nghymru. Rydyn ni'n meddwl am y parlymyniad yw 8099-97. Rydyn ni'n fawr i'n fawr, mae'n fawr i'n gweithio i'r ddweud, ond Paul wedi'u gweithio i'r ddweud y gweithio. Rydyn ni'n gweithio i'r ddweud, mae'n gweithio i'r ddweud. Mae'n gweithio i'r ddweud, rydyn ni'n gweithio i'r ddweud. Rydyn ni'n meddwl am y dyna blynyddol yng Nghymru, mewn Fydoedd am Gynnwysolwyrrwyain, a Gllwyllwyddol i'w gweithio i'r ddweud i'r ddweud, a dyna sut yw ddweud teimlo i gydrwyng ddechrau newid. Rydyn ni'n meddwl am gweithio i'r ddweud yng nghymru. Rydyn ni'n meddwl am y ddweud. Rydyn ni'n meddwl am y ddweud, ond yn cyffredinol i ymddangos gefanol cynnan ar confidence i'r ddweud yng Nghymru. So, I took time off. We have our elections our own Monday in just over week. The polls are extremely close at the moment. And we get about two or three new ones every day. So it's quite exciting at the moment. But then, yes, I am a politician in the Ministry of Local Government and Modernisation where we've put the sort of public sector across the board both local and central government and of course the digital is becoming more and more important in everything Ac mae'n golygu am ystafell yng Nghymru yw'r un oed yn ymweliadau Nordic. Mae'n meddwl o'r Minister ym Mhweli Nid Ysgol yn ymchwil Fyloedd. Mae'n rhai meddwl o'r EU ffwc. Mae'n rhai mwyaf arall, ac mae'n rhaid i geiwch yn ei ffordd i gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio. gyda'r wych yn cyffredinol, rydyn ni'n ddweud o'r eur i'r unig, ond canoloddol yn ddechrau. Fy bod y gweithio'r gynlluniaf wedi cael y bydd y cynlluniaf yn dweud yn anghybmiad y bydd y gweithio ar ddweud o ddiw i'r gweithio'r cyfnoddol a yn ystod yn ei hun. Ac rwy'n credu, yna, oeddwn i'n meddwl am y maes o'r cyflawn i eu bod yn Ynrych, o'r cyflym o'r llwyddol. A yna'n gweithio'r cyflwynydd fathau cyflwyno'r cyflwyno, a'i ddweud i ddim yn fwy oherwydd, ac rwy'n meddwl am y ddodol. Roedd yna'n adnod o'r cyflwyno. A'r adnod o'r adnod o'r cyflwyno yna, mae'n adnod o'r cyflwyno, Mae amdano'r gweld y nesaf o gynghoriwf, rydyn ni'n amser o'n gorfod o gynghoriwch, rydym ni wedi meddwl y pas yn y cyflau'r cyffinol, ac mae hynny o'r fayr mewn. Felly, yw a llunio hynny y yna yn y corthoedd nofid, yw'r strategi ymlaen chi, y ddiogel yn y cyflog iawn, ... factory. We presented to parliament about a one and a half years ago. It goes through a white paper that goes through the policies and the priorities. It's much less of a technological document than those who have been previously. Not a list of projects. We went to Estonia, in fact, about them. something called the X Road that everyone's heard about, and we wanted to go there to touch and feel the X Road, and they told us that the X Road doesn't exist as a technology. It's a set of principles that you have to follow when you are government. And if everyone does that, you have one system. One thing we did was to say that the aim of what we're doing is not being digital. It's not the technology. It's creating a simpler society for our citizens. It's economic growth. It's inclusion to get more people on board in different areas. And the ways we do that is to use digital tools in modernising government in more and more areas. We have some principles we need to both implement and follow, like digital by default, that any public entity is digital by default, and then sometimes, but not always, you can apply to get information in other channels. Automating public services, one's only principle, the Estonian has told us a lot about, if we know something about the citizens, why do we ask them again about the same information? It's much easier to reuse information. With the challenges we have in privacy, of course, because we have legislation that says you're only allowed to use the information for what it was collected for. So we have to balance these things. Sharing public data, getting more and more important, both for business, but also internally in government. The projects, I mean, we're good at a lot of things, but we've also had projects that have been terribly bad and ended up where they shouldn't end up, like in the hearings in Parliament, which is not the place to be for an IT project. And the whole challenge of how do you split up the projects from these giant things we're doing into small and modularised, where it's easier to take risk and easier to make mistakes because you can change the course when you discover that you're on the wrong track and get external evaluation of whether you're on the wrong or right track. And cooperating with the private sector, using the market, not developing things ourselves that someone else is better at, which is often quite difficult for governments to understand because we think we're so special that we have to do things all on our own. This is one example of what we've been doing. Log-ons to public services through our identification gateway. Both municipalities and central governments are using that. We differ from some other countries there that we do not have one technology, a government-issued card, or we have that, getting that as well. But we're using the market solutions that the banking sector has for logging on to their services, also into the public sector. If it's good enough to take care of your money, you can probably get public services through the same kind of technology. But then we're not a member of the EU. Some of us regret that sometimes a bit, but we're trying to be part of as much as possible that the EU is doing and paying for doing that too. So we're invited to the ministerial conference. We're part of the ICT-related programmes. But with the presidency in the Nordic Council, we discussed with our Nordic friends and Baltic neighbours, can we in that area do something more together than we are already doing? The Nordic Council has a long history from back to the 50s. It was in a way a front-runner for a common labour market. We can work across the Nordic borders without... We didn't need to show passports, practical things for ordinary people. Of course, the EU has done a lot of the same things so that it's in the EU context. But how can we in the digital space remove barriers and borders between our countries and also help our businesses compete across the borders? Without, as I said, becoming an alternative to other organisations, but a kind of practical cooperation on issues where governments are necessary to put things in place, but then others are going to cooperate afterwards to make it concrete. We had a high-level meeting conference with both governments, businesses and a great meeting place in April. Speakers from all over our regions where we wanted experts and business leaders to address where are the challenges, where are the barriers and explain where they see problems that should be solved and barriers that should be removed. Part of this was that the ministers in their own room had a lunch together and designed a ministerial declaration. Now a lot of the cynesists would say that ministerial declarations are signed all the time. They don't really contain much more than words, but this one was a bit different. It's focused on three areas where we say that we're going to move on in our cooperation between the three countries, cross-border digital services in the public sector between the countries. There's a lot of mobility, as I mentioned, in the labour market, and there are problems with bureaucracy when you cross borders and work in another country. These are the countries. There are more countries in the Nordics than you might expect, because the Greenland and the Faroe Islands and the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Iceland and the Baltics, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia were part of this. We can sometimes be too sectorised, too bureaucratic, but we like to think that in our region when we are at our best we don't start making declarations or institutions. We address some practical problems that we need to find the tools to solve. We identified three areas we're going to continue working on. One, as I mentioned, the cross-border digital services in the public sector re-using identity numbers, for example, and promote the free movement of data, as has been mentioned here already across the borders, strengthened business competitiveness. With a special focus on 5G rollout and the new mobile broadband technologies, all our countries are quite far ahead in that area, but we want to keep moving, and we have businesses that are both on the service side and on the industry side, and it's an interesting area for public services as well. Helping enhancing the single digital market in our region, pushing the EU to implement what you've been talking about now and show in practice the advantages of doing that. We haven't had a council of ministers for the digital in the Nordics, so that's being established formally this year. They'll have a meeting at the end of the year. Norway has the presidency this year, Sweden will take over from next year. We agree very strongly that in a region like ours that wants to be a frontrunner, we need ministers who meet on the digital issues as well. Just one final thing I want to mention. We, to not become too self-satisfied, we want others to review what we are doing. And today, in fact, we got a presentation in Oslo. I knew about what was there already, so it's interesting and positive report in many ways, but points to some of the challenges we have too. When it comes to too much sectorisation, when it comes to having the necessary speed, this is a public document and you can find it online and read where the people reviewed us think that we have done the right things and where should we do even more to succeed. So thank you for your attention.
