Despite some criticisms related to the methodology followed, which are now being addressed through a much greater use of National Statistical Institutes, the benchmarking exercise was considered particularly useful.","The evaluation also acknowledges that the co-financing of conferences on e-government and e-health was a success with significant impact in terms of follow-up actions by national policy-makers. However, it recommends that greater efforts be made to support exchange of good practices and dissemination in a more integrated way. This recommendation is now being implemented through increased emphasis on the strategic aims of the studies that are financed, and specific attention to the development of good practice frameworks in egovernment, e-business and e-health.","The evaluation recognises that the Information Society Forum was a \u201csuccessful initiative in the first years\u201d of the implementation of the programme. It made important contributions in the area of social aspects and the demand-side of ICT for consumers and citizens. The work of the eEurope Advisory Group under MODINIS can be seen as a continuation and an improvement of the role played by the IS Forum.","Lastly, the recommendations on the management of the MODINIS in the light of the PROMISE experience have been followed through with a clear role for the management committee in the implementation of the eEurope strategy."],"type":"Follow-up document"}],"path":["docs"],"type":"added"},{"data":[{"body":"CSL","council":"Former Council configuration","type":"Council Meeting"}],"path":["other"],"type":"deleted"},{"data":[{"body":"EC","date":"1996-12-12T00:00:00","docs":[{"title":"EUR-Lex","url":"https://eur-lex.europa.eu/smartapi/cgi/sga_doc?smartapi!celexplus!prod!DocNumber&lg=EN&type_doc=COMfinal&an_doc=1996&nu_doc=592"},{"title":"COM(1996)0592"}],"summary":[],"type":"Legislative proposal published"},{"body":"EP","date":"1997-01-29T00:00:00","type":"Committee referral announced in Parliament, 1st reading/single reading"},{"body":"EP","date":"1997-04-17T00:00:00","summary":[],"type":"Vote in committee, 1st reading/single reading"},{"body":"EP","date":"1997-04-17T00:00:00","docs":[{"title":"A4-0163/1997","url":"http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=REPORT&mode=XML&reference=A4-1997-163&language=EN"}],"type":"Committee report tabled for plenary, 1st reading/single reading"},{"body":"EP","date":"1997-06-25T00:00:00","docs":[{"title":"Debate in Parliament","url":"http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?secondRef=TOC&language=EN&reference=19970625&type=CRE"}],"type":"Debate in Parliament"},{"body":"EP","date":"1997-06-26T00:00:00","docs":[{"title":"T4-0352/1997"}],"summary":[],"type":"Decision by Parliament, 1st reading/single reading"},{"body":"EC","date":"1997-10-10T00:00:00","docs":[{"title":"EUR-Lex","url":"https://eur-lex.europa.eu/smartapi/cgi/sga_doc?smartapi!celexplus!prod!DocNumber&lg=EN&type_doc=COMfinal&an_doc=1997&nu_doc=460"},{"title":"COM(1997)0460"}],"summary":[],"type":"Modified legislative proposal published"},{"body":"EP/CSL","date":"1998-03-30T00:00:00","type":"Act adopted by Council after consultation of Parliament"},{"body":"EP","date":"1998-03-30T00:00:00","type":"End of procedure in Parliament"},{"date":"1998-04-07T00:00:00","docs":[{"title":"Decision 1998/253","url":"https://eur-lex.europa.eu/smartapi/cgi/sga_doc?smartapi!celexplus!prod!CELEXnumdoc&lg=EN&numdoc=31998D0253"},{"title":"OJ L 107 07.04.1998, p. 0010","url":"https://eur-lex.europa.eu/JOHtml.do?uri=OJ:L:1998:107:SOM:EN:HTML"}],"type":"Final act published in Official Journal"}],"path":["events"],"type":"added"},{"data":[{"body":"EC","commission":[],"date":"1996-12-12T00:00:00","docs":[{"celexid":"CELEX:51996PC0592:EN","text":["

Despite some criticisms related to the methodology followed, which are now being addressed through a much greater use of National Statistical Institutes, the benchmarking exercise was considered particularly useful.","The evaluation also acknowledges that the co-financing of conferences on e-government and e-health was a success with significant impact in terms of follow-up actions by national policy-makers. However, it recommends that greater efforts be made to support exchange of good practices and dissemination in a more integrated way. This recommendation is now being implemented through increased emphasis on the strategic aims of the studies that are financed, and specific attention to the development of good practice frameworks in egovernment, e-business and e-health.","The evaluation recognises that the Information Society Forum was a \u201csuccessful initiative in the first years\u201d of the implementation of the programme. It made important contributions in the area of social aspects and the demand-side of ICT for consumers and citizens. The work of the eEurope Advisory Group under MODINIS can be seen as a continuation and an improvement of the role played by the IS Forum.","Lastly, the recommendations on the management of the MODINIS in the light of the PROMISE experience have been followed through with a clear role for the management committee in the implementation of the eEurope strategy."],"type":"Follow-up
