60 on-line administration services have
been selected by a team of independent experts for the quality of their
interactivity with their users. These services, chosen from 282 proposals
from various countries, will be awarded the "eGovernment" label. They will
be presented at the Conference on eGovernment: From Policy to Practice
jointly organised by the European Commission and the Belgian Presidency
on 29 and 30 November 2001 in Brussels.
This event is part of the joint efforts of the European Commission and
the Belgian Presidency to speed up the development of on-line administrative
services in Europe. The aim is focus attention on the best current applications
and the practical advantages that individuals and companies can derive
from this modernisation of administration, at whatever level. The organisers'
stated aim is to encourage the general development of these pratices as
part of the eEurope Action Plan approved by the Member States in June 2000.
