In September 2003, the Commission adopted a communication signalling the importance of e-Government as a means of achieving world-class public administration in Europe. As part of the Lisbon strategy, e-Government is seen as providing a major economic boost by providing new and better services for all citizens and companies of Europe. The Communication calls upon Member States to express their political commitment to co-operation at European level spanning both the private and public sector, to accelerate the take-up and development of e-Government. It presents a set of actions that reinforce the e-Government priorities currently being addressed within the eEurope 2005 Action Plan.
Enterprise and Information Society Commissioner, Erkki Liikanen said: "It is essential for Europe to have a public sector that helps the European economy to grow, that provides high quality services to all and that reinforces democratic involvement." . . . . . more
