Information Society services: procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations and of rules

In adopting the report by Mr Mark HENDRICK (PSE, UK), Parliament amended the proposal, calling in particular for the establishment of an advisory group comprising experts from industry and universities which would have the task of offering advice and guidance to the Standing Committee. In addition, Parliament calls on the Commission: - to monitor developments on the market in the new information society services, particularly as regards convergence between telecommunications, information technology and the media, with a view to adjusting the rules at the appropriate juncture; - to assess the implementation of the directive before 1 July 1999 with a view to revising it, if appropriate. �
