1 INTRODUCTION

Each EU country has specific rules for who can support a Citizens' Initiative.

This analysis document specifies the rules and the means of identification of a Citizens' Initiative signatory for each country in the EU.

There will be a validation rule per country and per type of Document ID. When a type of Document ID has more than one format, there will be a validation rule for each of these formats.

The same rules are used in the Validation Tool for Statements of Support (VTECI). Thus, the intended readership also includes the National Authorities in charge of validation.

1.1 Intended Readership

OCS Open Source Community

Members of the OnLine Collection Software for ECI software community in joinup.eu

Developers The developers will compare the as-is state of the software with this specification.

Testers The testers will prepare appropriate test specifications.

National Authorities The National Authorities will compare their national rules with this specification.



2 DOCUMENT TYPES

The user will be able to enter a document number with or without whitespace and punctuation characters such as slash or hyphen. All such whitespace and punctuation characters entered by the user will be regarded as insignificant for validation purposes. i.e. Validation rules will ignore any whitespace and punctuation characters entered, and will normally validate based solely on alphanumeric content.

Acceptable whitespace and punctuation characters are defined in Appendix I - Whitespace and Punctuation Characters.

A rejection error will be triggered if a field entry contains an invalid character. i.e. The entry of a character which is non-alphanumeric and not an acceptable whitespace or punctuation character.

The means of identification is normally by either Passport or Identity Card. The format of a valid identification number is shown per country in the following sub-sections. Any exceptions or additions to the means of identification for a particular country will be specified in its sub-section.

For each country the various means of identification will normally be shown via a Document Type drop-down List Box. The exception to this is when only one Document Type is available for a country, in which case that Document Type will be shown as a fixed text.

Key: L => Latin Alphabetic case-insensitive letter (A-Z, a-z)

N => Arabic Numeral (0-9)

A => Latin Alphanumeric case-insensitive => L or N (A-Z, a-z, 0-9)

G => Greek Alphabetic case-insensitive letter (Α-Ω, α-ω)

B => Bulgarian Cyrillic Alphabetic case-insensitive letter (А-Я, а-я)

ddmmyy => Date in digital day-month-year format

yymmdd => Date in digital year-month-day format

Length => significant length i.e. excluding punctuation and whitespace characters
