I understand that Commissioner Kroes recently indicated that the European Commission would outline plans later this year for a suite of measures to foster competitiveness and innovation for a digital Europe. Ireland looks forward to more detail on these proposals from the Commission.

In the interim, I look forward to progressing many of the key areas for the Digital Agenda for Europe during Ireland’s Presidency of the EU Council and, in that context, we have prioritised work on dossiers relating to the Connecting Europe Facility, electronic identification and trust services, cyber security, the re-use of public sector information and web accessibility.
