".
We are all aware that for the European Union to remain competitive we must take full advantage of the new information technologies that are coming on stream.
That is the core of the Action Plan for eEurope 2005 guaranteeing widespread availability of broadband networks throughout the EU. It also seeks to ensure the widespread use of the Internet through eGovernment, eLearning, eHealth and eBusiness initiatives.
I represent a peripheral part of the European Union – both the western and border county regions in Ireland.
It must remain a central European policy that the benefits of new technologies extend equally to all urban and rural parts of Europe.
If access to these new technologies is not available, investors will locate their companies where the best available technology is.
On issues such as information technology, there is the principle known as universal access.
The cost of access to the internet must be the same whether the user is living in a rural part of Ireland or in a capital city in the European Union.
We must do more to promote a dynamic e-business environment, and ensure that small and medium sized companies take full advantage of the new evolving technologies to meet that objective."@en1
