Dear MCG,
I thought you might be interested in the announcement below, which has been issued today by the European Commission. The Commission has established a 'Comite des Sages' (which they are translating as a 'Reflection Group') to consider ways of progressing the Agenda of putting cultural information online. Further information about the work of the Group is provided in the Press Release, the link to which is in the email.
Best regards,
Nick Poole

Dear all
I thought you might be interested to see this press release:
http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/10/456&format=HTML&aged=0&language=EN&guiLanguage=en
European Commission President José Manuel Barroso has announced that the European Commission will entrust three personalities - Maurice Lévy (CEO of Publicis), Elisabeth Niggemann (Head of the German National Library) and Jacques De Decker (writer) - to come up with recommendations on how best to speed up the digitisation, online accessibility and preservation of cultural works across Europe ... These recommendations will ultimately help Europeana, Europe's digital library, reach a new dimension ...
Kind regards
M
