> broadcasting, video games)

> content, new types of Internet use, new services (specially the mobile
> Internet)?

> particularly regarding the follow-up to the Safer Internet Action Plan.
> 
> There will be a number of reports from distinguished specialists on use of
> new technologies and a series of panel discussiosn - the intention being
> that all particpants should contribute to the debate.
> 
> This is a restricted meeting, by invitation only.  Participants will be
> selected on the basis of expertise in the area, and to ensure a balanced
> group from various professional backgrounds and geographically covering
> the Member states, EEA-EFTA and candidate countries.  We are particularly
