European Telework Week is based on subsidiarity. Initiatives should be taken at the appropriate level of interest, whether it is European, national, regional or local and should be supported at that level. European Telework Week extends the discussions and findings to the citizen themselves, with messages and actions at the national, regional and local level, where European and indeed global issues are translated to the national, regional and local context. TEN Telecom is an action designed to help the launch of Trans European telecommunications applications and generic services. It is specifically aiming to establish a basis for Trans-European networks for telework and other new work methods.
Important aspects are the integration of multi media access.
Special attention should be paid to evaluating and taking into account social consequences. Closing date for submission of proposals is 20 June 1997.
