	WHITE PAPER ON THE 1996 INTERGOVERNMENTAL CONFERENCE VOLUME II (EN)
		The UK sees the Union as more than a free trade area: it is the basis for democratic consolidation and prosperity throughout Europe and it is a means to the overcoming of the historic divisions which disfigured the continent during the cold war, contributing to the consolidation of peace.
		The UK believes that defence stands at the very core of national sovereignty, and that the most suitable system is the existing one based on NATO under which final decisions are always adopted by consensus and national governments are responsible to their home parliaments.
		The UK Government sees the WEU as the most suitable forum for this, since the intergovernmental treaty on which it is based statesthat defence policy decisions must be adopted unanimously, thus ensuring that they remain what they should be, namely decisions of the sovereign member states.

		The Committee may wish to ask the UK government for details on the policies it has in place for ensuring that information about good women candidates is accessed and that women are considered for posts on international fora.
		The Committee may wish to ask the UK government what steps it is taking to build upon the injection of European Peace and Reconciliation funding on this issue, which is of key importance to increasing women’s access to the labour market.
		It is unaware of the UK government’s position on this possible development and it would therefore hope that the Committee could press the government for its views.

	UK govt seeks to embrace open source software \| The Register
		The UK government has published the first draft of its proposed policy on the use of open source software and is seeking comments from the public.

		Given the government's poor record on working with anyone who doesn't use Microsoft product (see MS-built UK 'Government Gateway' locks out non-MS browsers), it sounds like its IT buyers definitely do need some help here.

	Scandinavian countries take e-government lead - ZDNet UK News
		Few European countries will be able to meet the region-wide goal of getting all government services online by 2005, according to a study by IDC released this week, which projected that e-government spending will nearly double in the next five years.
		Despite much rhetoric on the subject in the UK, the country is not faring particularly well compared with its neighbours, the study found.
		She said that governments are taking other actions aside from creating e-services, such as modernising and integrating back office functions, closing the digital divide and encouraging citizens to use services, investments which will ensure e-government's success after 2005.
