(PT) I welcome the fact that the European Parliament has dedicated itself to a plan as important as eEurope 2005, in the aim of enabling the Member States to develop their online skills in the sectors of public administration, by modernising public services in order to guarantee universal accessibility; education, specifically the aim of guaranteeing broadband access for all educational establishments; health, by providing online health services to the population, and broadband data networks between the various points of healthcare provision, such as hospitals, laboratories and homes; and 'business', obviously not forgetting issues involving the technical means necessary to achieving these aims - extending bandwidth and multiplying channels - and the sensitive issue of the security of information.
Lisäksi asia koskee terveyden alaa, jonka osalta on tehostettava terveyspalvelujen tarjoamista väestölle verkossa ja taattava eri terveydenhoitopalvelujen tarjoajien, kuten sairaaloiden ja laboratorioiden, sekä kotien väliset laajakaistaverkot. Lopuksi mainittakoon liiketoiminta ja tietenkin näiden tavoitteiden saavuttamisen edellyttämät tekniset keinot - kaistanleveyden ja kanavien lisääminen - sekä arkaluontoinen tietoturvakysymys.
