Dear colleagues
The Communication 'A new framework for co-operation and activities
concerning the information and communication policy of the European
Union' (COM (2001)354 final) is now accessible on EUR-LEX: it makes
interesting reading
http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/en/com/cnc/2001/com2001_0354en01.pdf
For those of us in EDCs I don't think we are seen as central by any
means: in fact we are still essentially described as linked to the
European Commission's library. It is the Carrefours and Info Points
that are the relays to be expanded, while each country is also
recommended to have a 'National Centre'.
Best wishes
Ian
