> put in evidence the high disparities between Member States in IT

Report
> shows considerable differences between countries in almost every item
> analysed. Not amazingly, there is a group of e-advanced countries
> ranking high in
almost
> all indicators, while the less IT advanced States rank poorly in many
aspects.
> A conclusion of the Report is that "many Member States are too far
> behind leading EU Member States in Internet penetration and use. More
> efforts are needed to close the gap."
