Rule 1 - Intranet for all staff
1. Rule
IntraComm - at www.cc.cec - is the primary channel for electronic information to all Commission staff.
2. Justification
IntraComm is the Intranet for the entire European Commission and as such is one of its main internal communication tools. It is managed by the Communication and Information Management Unit, DG ADMIN D.5. Essential administrative or other useful information for Commission Staff can be made available here for immediate access from office, from home or when on mission.
Most of the content of IntraComm is equally available to the other EU institutions, agencies and other bodies as well as to retired Commission staff.
3. Description
3.1 Relations between local Intranets and IntraComm
There are no clearly defined administrative guidelines governing the implementation and use of Intranets in the Commission. Most services have their own local Intranets, which exist in parallel with the central Intranet, IntraComm.
DGs are encouraged to make local Intranets available to the staff of the other DGs and services in the interest of all.
Local Intranets must include a prominent link to IntraComm on their home page as well as on all other pages where it is useful and relevant. For details on this, please refer to chapter 4.
IntraComm can, in return, link to the local Intranets. And make this link available either to all staff (i.e. for open local intranets) or to the staff of the DG only (i.e. a pesonalised link for local intranets with restricted access.)
3.2 URLs
| URL | Name | Remarks |
| http://www.cc.cec | IntraComm | This is the normal address when accessing from the office. |
| http://intracomm.cec.eu-admin.net | IntraComm | This is the address when accessing from another EU institution or agency via the TESTA network. |
| https://intracomm.ec.europa.eu | IntraComm | This is the address when accessing from home or from on mission. It is also the access address for retired officials. |
4. Procedure
Contact the IntraComm team and the designated IntraComm webmaster in you DG/Service. Initially you must indicate:
- The purpose and content of the site;
- If information on the site is linked to - or is overlapping - existing content on IntraComm;
- The unit or person responsible for the site.
The IntraComm team will examine the request. Any site that brings added value to IntraComm and which is in accordance with this IPG would normally be granted an address on IntraComm.
Please note that a request for the allocation of an address under "www.cc.cec" can be introduced without any prior knowledge on how to construct an Intranet site. The team of IntraComm will provide help and advice. However, the originating service should be willing to allocate adequate resources - budget and personnel - for the construction and maintenance of the site. See also chapter 2.
