Preliminary draft budget 2008
Title 09 — Information society and media
Overall objectives
The main objectives of this policy area derive directly from the i2010 strategic initiative which is strongly focused on the main axes of the renewed Lisbon strategy.
As far as the i2010 Electronic communications policy and network security activity is concerned, the main objectives are as follows: to promote and monitor the eCommunications regulatory framework, to promote an effective EU radio spectrum policy and to support the safe use of the Internet, the prevention of information security problems and Internet governance.
In the context of i2010 ICT Take-up, the new competitiveness and innovation programme aims to ensure the best use and wider uptake of ICTs by European citizens, businesses and governments and to boost competitiveness and innovation. The objective of the eContent plus programme is to make digital content in Europe more accessible, usable and exploitable. The preparatory action eDemocracy is aimed at the creation of an Internet-based system for better legislation and for increased public participation involving parliaments.
As far as actions related to the research and development activities in the Information society and media policy area are concerned, information and communication technologies (ICTs) will aim at stepping up the European research and innovation effort in ICT and improving its impact on the competitiveness of all industrial sectors as well as on growth and jobs.
The development of e-infrastructures (Capacities - research infrastructures) will provide persistent, cross discipline services to the research communities based upon complex processes designed to bring the power of distributed ICT based resources to virtual communities.
In relation to the i2010 Audiovisual policy and media programme activity, the objective is to support the adoption of the directive on audio-visual media services and propose further measures to enhance the potential of Europe’s creative sector and content industries by creating synergies between ICTs and European media and audiovisual content.
