-
(31 May 2011) The Digital Agenda Scoreboard gives essential data and in-depth analysis of progress so far with the implementation of the Digital Agenda for Europe (DAE). The Scoreboard is the first to be published by the European Commission showing the performance of the EU and Member States in delivering on the agreed targets after the first year of existence of the DAE. The DAE includes 101 specific actions (78 for the Commission, of which 31 were legal proposals, and 23 for Member States) which will together boost investment in, and use of, digital technologies. They are grouped under 7 headings, each representing a key area of Europe's digital economy.

- Legal analysis of a Single Market for the Information Society

30 May 2011
This study confirms that new and forward-looking common EU rules are needed to unleash the full potential of the Digital Single Market. Europe has acted in this field as early as 1995 with the Data Protection Directive and many of these first generation directives have proven to be beneficial to fostering the information society in Europe. But the findings of the study support the conclusions of the Digital Agenda for Europe on the need to modernise and harmonise further the legislative framework applicable to information society services in the Digital Single Market. According to the study, a series of gaps and inconsistencies appeared due to the rapid technological evolution and urgent EU action is necessary to allow the next generation of Europeans to turn their creativity into new services, growth and jobs.

27 May 2011
Funding for research in the biomedical sciences must address the needs for better health care, as well as support the opportunities for advancing knowledge, in a long term vision towards improving health and reducing the impact of disease. In developing its strategy and priority settings, the European Union has emphasized the importance of implementation of new knowledge. Translation into clinical practice and active participation of industry has been stimulated in collaborative projects, but novel approaches are needed. In particular, the need for innovation, referring to application of discoveries and development of a related economical activity which further drives and stimulates research, calls for new partnerships and task sharing. The European Commission has presented its proposal "Europe 2020 Flagship Initiative - Innovation Union" in which this vision is spelled out together with a number of measures for achieving it. The workshop, held on 4-5 Nov. 2010, provided a discussion forum that has analyzed the needs in CVD research and care, ways to move forward and the broader perspectives for EU policy.
