Follow-up to the Tunis Phase of the World Summit on the Information Society

Two major topics were debated in Tunis: Internet governance and financial mechanisms to bridge the digital divide.

This communication contains an assessment of the principal Summit results, indicates the EU priorities and makes proposals as to how the EU can help follow up the WSIS process. The Commission and the EU as a whole wish to remain driving forces in the process and to build on the success achieved during the second phase.
