[Plone-Users] The Open Declaration - Endorsement needed

[Alexander P. <li...@al...>]

Hi All,

on November 19th, the EU Ministerial Declaration will spell out the EU 
e-government policy for the next 3 years and define the key priorities.

A collaborative effort was launched to build an Open Declaration on 
European Public Services, which calls on European governments to embrace 
the values of transparency, participation and empowerment and so improve 
public services. The European Commission and the Swedish Presidency of 
the EU have accepted the presentation of the declaration in the official 
programme of the Ministerial Conference. A number of 2000 endorsements 
is needed for that.

There is currently an ongoing conflict within the bodies of the EU where 
one side acknowledges the needs for transparency and the other side 
still acts cautious and conservative. We had several discussions about 
this just during the Plone Conference in Budapest and think that this 
Initiative could set an inportant impulse.

All the best,
Alex
