Recital 24 a (new)
(24a) Under Article 9 TFEU, in defining and implementing its policies, the Union shall respect the principle of equality of its citizens, who shall receive equal attention from its institutions, bodies and agencies. In this regard, accessibility for all should be incorporated into the development of interoperability strategies across the Union, with a special focus on the most disadvantaged and unpopulated areas in order to combat the digital divide.

(30) National administrations can be supported in their endeavours through specific instruments under the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) and encouraged jointly to develop solutions involving two or more States. In this regard, the efforts made by the European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation must merit special attention. Close cooperation under the ISA2 Programme should maximise the benefits expected from such instruments by ensuring that funded projects are aligned with the Union-wide interoperability frameworks and specifications such as the EIF.

(36) The objectives of this Decision are to facilitate efficient and effective electronic cross-border or cross-sector interaction between European public administrations and between them and citizens and businesses, to enable the delivery of electronic public services supporting the implementation of Union policies and activities. These electronic public services require an inclusive (e-inclusive) approach that will reduce disparities in the use of ICT solutions, promote the use of ICT to combat exclusion – but also to combat the digital divide created in those areas that have been the most adversely affected by processes relating to the ageing population and depopulation – and contribute to economic growth, in order to generate job opportunities, improve quality of life and encourage social participation and cohesion. Since this cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States acting alone because the coordination function at the European level would be difficult and costly to set up at the level of the Member States by Member States themselves and can therefore, by reason of the scale and effects of the proposed action, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article l, this Decision does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives,
