(15 May 2003)

Regarding the subsidies the Union awarded to the towns subject of the written questions in the Action
Plan on Promoting Safer Use of the Internet, it has been found that none of the 15 Italian municipalities
has presented a proposal for funding under the Safer Internet Action Plan 1999-2002. Consequently, none
of the municipalities has received any funding in the framework of this action plan.
