"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to congratulate Malcolm Harbour on an unusually well-informed report which addresses many important issues. This report also addresses the fact that the society of the future will be a mobile Internet society, and I believe that we Members are, in a way, guinea pigs as regards whether or not this mobility will work.
The report also shows the rapid rate of change that we are seeing in this area, the points of departure for the capital market being among the things that have changed since Mr Harbour’s work was completed.
The only thing that I would like to say to the Commissioner today is that I hope that the Commission’s organisation is sufficiently flexible to be able to take account of the need for cooperation between its different areas and to be able to react quickly to the changes required. I also feel that account must be taken of this issue in the White Paper on European Governance.
Better coordination of the Commission’s activities is needed, as Mrs Mann also mentioned. It is also evident that the Internet will lead to challenges for administrations, with open competition between administrations becoming the guiding principle – and the Commission will have to cope with this competition."@en1
