"Mr President, Commissioner, democracy must include the right to information; it is needed to improve how people manage their own lives. Information must be available to all. The public sector has a responsibility to ensure that the potentially excluded also have the chance to gain access to information.
The Commission’s aim to bring the information society within everyone’s reach is democracy. There is no information without learning how to produce and use it oneself. A connection to the Internet and other tools for accessing information are not enough. People have to be able to and want to use them.
The rapporteur draws attention to the availability and compatibility of special hardware and software. As a separate issue, I wish to stress the importance of language. Machine language should be translated into human languages. We need links between people and not just to machines. In the shadow of privatisation we must not destroy the social institutions that democratise information. Information services that everyone can use should be produced on television."@en1
