Press Release: Connecting Europe at high speed: reviewing the eEurope 2005 action plan

Member States and accession countries have made good progress in rolling out broadband access and in getting public services on line, says a mid-term progress report published in February 2004 by the European Commission on the eEurope 2005 Action Plan. eEurope, launched in 2000, seeks to ensure that the Union realises the full potential of the information society to drive growth through improved productivity and competitiveness. To do this eEurope now focuses on the widespread availability of secure broadband services and on action to promote greater use.
