This edition of the Eurostat publication Statistics in Focus highlights the use of Information and Communication Technologies for interacting with government bodies (e-Government). Increasingly, public bodies are creating web sites for enterprises and citizens that enable easier, cheaper and more efficient handling of procedures and supply of services. e-Government is one of the main goals of the “eEurope 2005 Action Plan — an information society for all”, an initiative taken by the Heads of State or Government in pursuit of the Lisbon Strategy, which aims to make the European Union a competitive and dynamic knowledge-based society. This publication highlights e-Government from enterprises’ and private individuals’ separate points of view.(Original source: http://epp.eurostat.cec.eu.int/cache/ITY_OFFPUB/KS-NP-05-009/EN/KS-NP-0…)
