Addressing the crisis: the impact of ICTs
■ Information and communication technologies (ICTs)
can help the member states during this crisis, not
only as a key sector in themselves, but also by
promoting economic growth, productivity, and
efficiency.
■ ICTs are based on innovation and creativity and can
even promote the emergence of new technologies
and services.
