The integrations, counting in the Acceleration Programme, had increased to 512.8 m€ or a percentage of 60.3% of the Axis until 31/12/2003 while the activated budget of the Axis came up to 790.2 m€ reaching a percentage of 93.0% of the budget of the Axis.
Among the measures of the Axis, the ones having the best status are first of all: Measure 2.2, “E-government for the provision of services for the citizen”. Until 31/12/2003, the budget of the measure covered a percentage of 42.6% of the total budget of the Axis with integrations reaching a percentage of 88.7% of the budget of the Measure. Counting in the Acceleration Programme, the integrations increased at a percentage of 89.3%, and the activated budget fully covered the budget.
Measures 2.3 “Support of the management of the structural funds resources and transition to Euro” and 2.6 “Information and Communication Technologies in Health and Welfare” follow with a considerable difference. Until 31/12/2003, the cumulative budget was 19.2% of the budget of the Axis with integrations 35% and 57% of the budgets of the measures respectively. Finally, the activated budget, counting in the Acceleration Programme, came up to a percentage of 38.9% of the budget of Measure 2.3 and a percentage of 59.6% for Measure 2.6 of the relevant budget.
The other measures of the Axis show quite lower levels of integrations. They covered cumulatively a percentage of 38.2% of the total budget of the Axis. Until 31/12/2003, the integrations ranged between 11.8% and 59.6%, while, counting in the Acceleration Programme, they increased reaching levels between 14.2% and 62.3%.
| Conclusions- Proposals |
|
The general conclusion from the previous analysis is that priority must be given to the programming and full activation of the measures which show delay, with the necessary revisions, where needed. At the same time, the financial strengthening of Measure 2.2 must be pursued with the redistribution of the resources among the measures of the Axis.
Measure 2.2 is the spearhead of the Operational Programme in the e-government field for which the needs and the demand, as they are determined by the operational plans of the ministries, exceed the available budget.
The basic issue to be dealt with is the securing of the operational conditions as regards structures, resources, know-how and personnel for the effective operation of the e-government services created in the framework of the Axis and for the wider incorporation of the logic and practices of the Information Society into the public administration.
