About 7 500 copies of the report have been distributed to professional and trade federations, as well as to
some institutions of national and local government, libraries, schools, and universities.

A number of the recommendations, which are part of the latest ISF report, have been taken up and turned
into concrete actions in the context of the eEurope initiative, and in particular those concerning cheaper
access to electronic networks, life-long learning, government on-line and European digital content.

For the time being the Commission is not planning a specific Communication on the basis of such a report
but it is studying alternative ways of implementing its main recommendations.

The Commission is currently examining the ways to raise the profile of the Information Society Forum in
the context of diminished human and financial resources at its disposal for the support of the Forum.

The Council would also point out to the Honourable Member that the results of the Article 133
Committee(cid:146)s proceedings are recorded in writing in documents of the Council General Secretariat and that
