Abstract
The creation of a regulatory framework, which will prepare the grounds for the transition to the Information Society, is imperative. On a European level, a great effort has already begun with the aim of laying down measures and rules which will, on the one hand, facilitate the development of new applications, and, on the other hand, act protectively in relation to the citizens’ rights, and in the frame of a free and competitive environment. Every country-member is trying to lay down a framework of measures and rules towards that direction.
