lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the new Internet generation is making many interactive applications possible. It should not be technology, but the user’s need that plays a key role in this. The Harbour report, however, is very technology-led. The public task consists of more than providing infrastructure. The rapporteur failed to mention that the government also has the task of finding out how the new Internet can benefit the public. First of all, technology can contribute to greater social cohesion, for example due to the fact that the replacement of standard activities leaves more time for human contact. As this will not happen of its own accord, we need to look into the applications that could strengthen social cohesion. Secondly, legislation on safety and content is insufficiently highlighted. Safe infrastructure is important, but technology often does not rule out incorrect use. Consequently, the rapporteur should have had more consideration for the international implications of new technology and for existing and new legislation. Finally, in order to narrow the knowledge gap, it is necessary for all groups of the population to be able to learn to use new technology. The needs, conditions and infrastructure required must be identified for weak groups. In that way, the integration of new technology can take place as early as at the development stage of new applications. Specific groups can then receive additional support. In a nutshell, the applications deserve more consideration than is evident in this report. More emphasis on the listed policy aspects is required if we want to create a knowledge-based society which involves the entire population."@en1
