WRITTEN QUESTION E-3996/03

by Raffaele Costa (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(7 January 2004)

Subject:   New work methods and development of e-commerce

The key action relating to the creation of new work methods and the development of e-commerce provided for under the fifth framework programme for research included a number of calls for proposals for the period 1999-2001.

Can the Commission state how many such calls were published, with the names of the successful candidates and the sums allocated to each project approved? Has action been taken to verify the success of the actions?

Answer given by Mr. Liikanen on behalf of the Commission

(17 February 2004)

During the period indicated (1999-2001), there were nine calls for proposal related to key action II: new working methods and development of electronic commerce.

The information related to the projects resulting from these calls can be found on the Cordis website[(1)](#ntr1-CE2004084EN.01028101-E0001), where it is possible to carry out research by key action, by country, by contract type and by partner type.

Another address[(2)](#ntr2-CE2004084EN.01028101-E0002) provides access to another document giving an overview of the activities of key action II during the period concerned.

The impact assessment of the activities of the Information Society Technologies (IST) taken as a whole, including the key action II, is underway and the corresponding report will be available at the end of April 2004 in a preliminary form and at the end of October 2004 in the final version.
