lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, we see the Internet as an opportunity for everyone and not as a new source of inequality, exclusion or isolation. This is why we will always support organisations dedicated not only to fighting ‘info-exclusion’, but also and principally, in a positive and pro-active way, to enabling the extraordinary resources offered by information technologies to best respond to the needs and aspirations of vulnerable and traditionally marginalised social groups, such as the disabled and the elderly. We must consequently give this boost all the support we can. It was during the last European presidency, held by my country, in June 2000, at the summit held in Santa Maria da Feira, that the ‘ Europe 2002’, action plan was officially adopted. One of its aims was to make the information society accessible to all the citizens of the European Union, focusing in particular on the disabled and on combating ‘info-exclusion’ in general. We have kept extremely busy in this field. The EIB and the Member States’ adoption, in 2001, of the guidelines for Web sites was an extremely important development. Against this background, we welcome the Commission communication and the extraordinary work carried out by the rapporteur. Although we have doubts about the charitably generous view that the guidelines will be fully implemented by the end of 2003, we feel we must insist on this aim and make particular demands with regard to those public Web sites which, having a specific social function or being of particular importance for the disabled and the elderly, must be the first to fully meet this objective. There is no logical reason why there should be a delay in this matter."@en1
