Europe 2020 Economic realities moving faster than political realities Crisis is a wake-up call Business as usual means gradual decline Short-term priority succesful exit from the crisis Long term priority jobs and smart, sustainable, inclusive growth Seven flagship initiatives Innovation Union Youth on the move A digital agenda for Europe Resource efficient Europe An industrial policy for the globalisation era An agenda for new skills and jobs European platform against poverty
Digital Agenda for Europe Why? Make the best use of ICTs to speed up economic recovery and lay foundations of a sustainable digital future 30% Europeans have never used Internet In US there are 4X as many music downloads as in EU 1% Europeans have access to high speed fibre-based networks vs. 12% Japanese or 15% South Koreans Funding for ICT R&D EU = 40% USA
Digital Agenda for Europe Seven Priority Areas Digital Single Market Interoperability between ICT products and services Internet trust and security Much faster internet access Investment in research and development Digital literacy, skills and inclusion ICT to address social changes climate change, rising healthcare costs, ageing population
Digital Single Market Simplify copyright clearance, management and licensing by Proposal of framework Directive on collective rights management Legal framework to facilitate digitization Directive on orphan works, rights information base Review Directive on Re-use of Public Sector Information Single market for on-line payments Modernize e-signature rules Update EU s data protection rules
Interoperability and Standards Review of EU standardization policy Enhance interoperability between devices, applications, data repositories, services and networks Legal measures to reform rules on implementation of ICT standards European Interoperability Strategy European Interoperability Framework
Trust and Security Rapid response system to cyber-attacks (CERTs, ENISA) Propose tougher laws to combat cyber attacks aginst information systems Propose rules on jurisdiction in cyberspace at European and international level Hotlines for parents and children Review of data protection framework
Fast and Ultra Fast Internet Access Foster deployment and take-up of next generation access (NGA) networks (through EU instruments ERDF, ERDP, EAFRD, TEN, CIP and credits EIB and EU funds) Common framework for actions at EU and MS level Ambitious European Spectrum Policy Programme Attract capital for investment in competitive NGA (clear and effective regulatory measures) Goals by 2020: All Europeans have access to Internet at speed of above 30Mbps 50% or more of European households subsacribe to Internet access connections above 100 Mbps
Research and Innovation Status: EU public sector spends less than 5.5 billion per year on ICT R&D Market fragmentation and dispersed research funding EU slow in the uptake of ICT business innovations Actions: Leverage more private investment through precommercial procurement and PPPs Use structural funds for research and innovation Increase ICT R&D budget by 20% per year for the duration of FP7 Develop light & fast ways for SMEs and young researchers to access EU funding for ICT research Ask member states to double annual public spending on ICT R&D
ICT enabled benefits for society ICT sector to lead the way on reporting greenhouse gas emissions Give Europeans secure online accessto their medical health data Support mobility by providing minimum set of patient record data to be accessible from anywhere in EU (interoperability of patient records) Sustainable model for financing Europeana Make e-government everyday convenience (list of common cross-border services, e-identification, e- authentication)
Key Performance Targets 1 Broadband: By 2013 100% basic broadband coverage (baseline Dec 2008 93% DSL coverage) By 2020 100% broadband covergae at above 30 MBPS (baseline Jan 2010 23% at least 10 Mbps) By 2020 50% EU households connected above 100 Mbps (no baseline) Digital Single Market By 2015 50% of EU population bying online (baseline 2009 37%) By 2015 20% of EU population bying online cross-border (baseline 2009 8%) By 2015 33% SMEs conduct online purchases/sales (baseline 2008 24% purchasing, 12% selling) By 2015 difference between roaming and national tariffs approach 0 (baseline 2009 on average 0.38 cents/min roaming, 0.13 cents/min overall)
Key Performance Targets 2 Digital inclusion By 2015 regular internet use increase to 75% (60% for disadvantaged people) (baseline 2009 60% and 41% respectively) By 2015 halve the proportion of population that has never used the Internet (to 15% from 30% in 2009) Public services By 2015 50% of citizens use egovernment, more than half returning forms (baseline 2009 38% used, 47% of them sending filled forms) By 2015 all the key cross-border services on the list to be agreed by MS in 2011 available (no baseline)
Key Performance Targets 3 Research and Innovation Double public investment in ICT R&D to 11 billion (baseline 2007 5.7 billion) no set deadline Low Carbon Economy By 2020 at least 20% reduction in energy use on lighting (no baseline)
