3 Germany s need for action (1) Business environment: Influence the general business environment in a way that stimulates international competitiveness for the German information industry (supply as well as demand), e.g. stimulate employment, enable competitive labour costs, encourage liberalisation of the labour market. Legal Framework: Further develop an appropriate legal framework, particularly increasing Internet security (supporting usage of electronic signatures, reinforcing personal property rights, preventing spamming, finalize new law on (digital) intellectual property rights, create new harmonized media regulations both at the federal and the state (Laender) level. Internet-Policy: Encourage the development of the Internet as a mass media and fourth culture. Enhance Internet access by reducing the digital divide: guarantee equal opportunities for all citizens regardless of age, gender, education even for disabled people. Increase number of public Internet access and training facilities. E-Business and Policy for SME s: Integrate the Internet into the established patterns of all media and business processes such as information, communication or transaction. Realign the corresponding operational reorganisation measures or inter-company co-operations leading to a change of the traditional value chain.
