"I want to thank the Council for its answer. I was pleased to see that the issue of information technology and its link to growth and employment were so high on the agenda in Lisbon. What happens in the future is important. The political task is not, of course, to set up IT companies but to build an infrastructure which stimulates development in this area. We do, of course, have shortcomings within the EU. Moreover, there are major differences between the EU’s Member States and also between different regions within the EU. Different population groups have varying opportunities and knowledge when it comes to exploiting this technology, and this may lead to great inequality in the future.
I would therefore ask the question: how are we successfully to devise a form of coordination which enables information technology also to be used out in the peripheral areas so that we create greater equality between different regions and between different population groups? Is there not a need for a joint authority to coordinate this work?"@en1
