Abstract:

The serious problem of Slovak public administration is the obstruction of recipients of official mail. In order to remove this obstacle, in 2013 became part of the law system of the Slovak Republic e-Government Act. The main objective of the legislator was to create a legal environment for the execution of power of public authorities. This act codifies electronic communication as a major form of communication between business entities and public authorities, as well as communication within the public authorities together with the historically basic but still decisive and inevitable classical paper form. The e-Government Act establishes the power of public authorities to exercise the power of a public authority and to communicate with entrepreneurs electronically. The aim of the article's authors is to investigate, by means of several scientific methods, its impact on the functioning of public administration, to analyse and to draw attention to its shortcomings and to propose measures for their elimination.
