PRESS RELEASE
Conference on Information Society: "New Opportunities for Growth in an 
Enlarged Europe", Budapest, 26-27 February 2004 (28/01/2004)
Progress in implementing the eEurope+ Information Society action plan in the 
new EU Member States and candidate countries, the eEurope 2005 mid-term review 
and joint Information Society challenges for the whole of Europe will be 
debated at a two-day, pan-European ministerial conference in Budapest on 26-27 
February 2004. This event, hosted by the EU's Irish Presidency, Minister 
Kálmán Kovács on behalf of the Hungarian government and Commissioner Erkki 
Liikanen for the European Commission, follows similar events held in Ljubljana 
in 2002 and Warsaw in 2000. Ministers from the 10 new Member States and 3 
candidate countries, EU Member States, and the South-East European countries 
have been invited to participate. The 450 participants will include high-level 
representatives of international institutions, the private sector, academics, 
and civil society. As the Commission emphasized in its recent call to the 
Spring European Council, seizing economic growth opportunities created by EU 
enlargement can give fresh impetus to the Lisbon strategy for making Europe 
the world's most competitive knowledge-based economy (IP/04/74). The new 
Member States join the Union on 1 May 2004.
