John you gonna love that! EU telecoms ministers OK plan to boost Web use By Reuters staff 25 February 2002 EU telecoms ministers on Friday unanimously approved Spain's plan to bolster Internet usage and help the 15-nation bloc catch up to the United States. With only 37 percent of EU homes connected to the Internet, versus 50 percent in the United States, the ministers renewed an agreement reached two years ago and about to expire. In Spain, the country currently holding the rotating EU presidency, only 25 percent of homes are wired to the Internet. "The ministers propose that the next (EU) summit in Barcelona provide a new political push toward the development of the information society," Spanish Science and Technology Minister Anna Birules told reporters in Vitoria, in Spain's northern Basque region. The Barcelona summit is set for March 15-16. The new plan, which will remain in effect until 2005, aims to promote the development of band width and content, including offering administrative, health and education services online. Meanwhile European Information Society Minister Erkki Liikanen said the bloc was preparing EU-wide legislation to combat cybercrimes such as hacking or spreading viruses. Emergency response teams designed to protect air traffic and other sensitive areas exist in each member state, but they are poorly coordinated, Liikanen said. "It is very important that criminal acts (in cyberspace) can be fined," Liikanen said. "We are working to reinforce cooperation among member states."
