The European Charter of Citizens' Rights in the Information Society
An important tool in promoting policies and specific eGovernment applications within the local government is mainly the European Charter of Citizens' Rights in the Information Society.
The Charter has been drawn up since 2006, not a new one, however, it contains very important principles of proclamation, which we expect to see also the self-governments in Greece, which in the field of e-government, with the exception of certain municipalities such as the municipality of Trikala, are not at the forefront of the avant-garde.
In particular, the Charter provides for citizens 'right of access to the Internet by creating public access points, preferably through a broadband network and respecting data security and the protection of citizens' personal data.
Furthermore, the right to education and training in new technologies is provided, in particular through continuing education and e-learning.
The Charter also refers to the quality of the information provided by the administration, but also to the accessibility of people with disabilities.
Finally, the creation of e-democracy applications is envisaged, with participation in the decision-making process by electronic means.
