The European Commission on 25 November 2005 adopted a strategic framework, the e-Commission 2006-2010, renewing its commitment to an optimal use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to continuously improve its performance and transparency. While promoting externally the use of ICT in the whole society through the i-2010 strategy, the Commission intended to lead by example by applying to its own administration the European society policy in the e-government field. It aimed in particular at offering better, more cost-effective, transparent and secure services to staff, national administrations, business and citizens.
