...(Curierul National: 15/04/2004)
Directia Regionala Vamala (DRV) Oradea testeaza un nou system

marfurilor ce tranziteaza granita romana. ”La birou se proceseaza
intre
450 si 500 de declaratii vamale pe zi, ceea ce inseamna un volum
considerabil de munca, motiv pentru care incercam tot
timpul sa simplificam acest proces”, a declarat directorul Vesa.

milioane de lei. Ministrul Comunicatiilor, Dan Nica, a declarat
ca
limita privind venitul brut lunar al familiei ar putea fi modificata
daca va constata ca numarul persoanelor solicitante este redus.

04.>>>>The pub's the hub for community broadband
…(ZDNet UK: 06/04/2004)
Business and individuals in many rural areas still denied a

for
broadband. A wireless broadband service launched this month
is
attempting to use a combination of village pubs and mesh networking
to
close Britain’s broadband divide.

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION
07.>>>>File-sharing to bypass censorship
…(BBC NEWS: 09/04/2004)
By the year 2010, file-sharers could be swapping news rather

eliminating censorship of any kind. This is the view of the
man who
helped kickstart the concept of peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing,
Cambridge University's Professor Ross Anderson.

come fully
into force on 1 January 2005.

E-GOVERNMENT
09.>>>>New study evaluates impact of ICT on public
sector productivity in Europe
…(eGovernment News: 07/04/2004)
A new study claims that the European public sector can improve
operating
performance by up to seven times when adequately combining technology
with people and processes.
The study, entitled 'Net Impact 2004: From Connectivity to
Productivity', looks at the effects of integrating Internet
applications, networking technologies, business processes and
organisational behaviours in the public sector by measuring
12 operating
metrics that are drivers for four broad performance outcomes:
efficiency, services volume, financial improvements, and citizen
satisfaction.

10.>>>>New tool to help UK local councils monitor take-up
of their online services
…(eGovernment News: 06/04/2004)
A website take-up service has been launched to help UK local
authorities
measure, explore, and compare usage of their websites. The new
service
was presented on 5 April 2004 by the Society of Information
Technology
Management (Socitm), the UK professional association of public
sector
ICT managers. Its aim is to help UK local authorities assess
the take-up
of their online services, better know their website users, and
find out
how satisfied their customers are with the e-government services
they
offer. Socitm’s website take-up service, which is run in conjunction
with web analytics company RedSheriff, is available for an annual
fee.
