Brussels, 07/06/2006 (Agence Europe) - The EU will hold its next Telecoms Council on Thursday afternoon in Luxembourg, chaired by Hubert Gorbach, Austrian transport, innovation and technology minister. There will be three items on the agenda: 1) e-government for all. Ministers will adopt conclusions after a public debate concerning the European Commission's 25 April report 'i2010 e-government action plan: accelerating e-government in Europe for the benefit of all'. The action plan outlined by the Commission in its report follows the conclusions adopted at the Manchester ministerial conference of November 2005. It lists five targets for making online government accessible to all and a roadmap of priority action in specific areas; 2) regulations governing e-communications. The ministers will discuss challenges facing the current review of the regulatory framework. Before the end of the year, the European Commission will be unveiling a draft review of the directives in question in line with the targets set by i2010, namely creating competition in information technology and markets, creating a favourable environment for investment and innovation, and ensuring choice and low prices for consumers. In its 11th evaluation report, published on 20 February, the Commission noted that some areas were lagging behind, like implementing roaming, the 112 emergency number, number portability and telephone directories. The ministers will also discuss management of the radio spectrum, an area where some Member States clashed at the December 2005 Council meeting; 3) information network security. Ministers will end the day by discussing network and information security, a crucial issue with the rapid development of technology. The ministers will outline the priorities they hope to see at EU level in terms of ensuring better network security and the best ways of achieving this, based on a Commission report published on 31 May. The Finnish Presidency will be organising a conference on information network security in September. The Austrian Presidency said it wanted to get feedback from the Member States on the issue to kickstart the work of the Finnish Presidency.
