Citizen-oriented

• Growth is not an end in itself Ultimately,
  the development of new services must beto the
  benefit of the citizens and their welfare.It is
  therefore essential to move towards a more
  people-centred approach where technologies
  areused by and for citizens
• Commissioner Viviane Reding, European
  Parliament, 29th September 2004

European eServices layers

• Europes citizens (particularly the mobile
  citizen) needinnovative, value-added services
  that are borderless (interoperable) and at the
  same time sustainable
• Setting up Trans-European services requires
  common thinking and common approaches that take
  account of current status and existing member
  state legacies
• A citizen-centric, trusted service approach will
  help to secure inclusion and access for all
• eTEN offers support for Trans-European projects
  rollingout new services in themes such as
  eGovernment, eHealth, eInclusion, eLearning,
  Trust Security, and SME support

  interoperate with everything !

  delivery
• a priority to avoid widening the digital
  divide

  good practices
• what is a best practice ? .. will it
  replicate ?
• understanding and quantifying benefits and
  financing the Dutch government calculates
  burden on enterprises 17B/year !
