".
I can only repeat what I have already said. All the information that the Commission provides for the public via the Internet is absolutely free. There is no cost to the user. Of course, installing the Internet itself involves costs, but the Commission cannot supply every citizen with free Internet access so that they can then have free access to information. What counts and what is important is that all of the Commission’s official documents are accessible at no charge. Moreover, we also have the Europa site. Access to this site is also free on the Internet and it is consulted, by the way, by millions of citizens every month.
As you see, we have already set in place the opportunity to use modern forms of media. I would also like to tell you Mrs Cederschiöld, that the Commission obviously wants to expand access to the Internet across all strata of society. For example, as the person responsible for education within the Commission, I have already looked at the question, with the Ministers for Education, of how we can ensure that as many young people, as many schools as possible, have Internet access. I know that in Nordic countries, it is relatively easy to set up this access, but this is not true for other countries in the Union. We must also reach a balance within the Union where Internet access is concerned. So, I take what you say extremely seriously."@en1
