                    General Information:

                    A series of seminars and live Internet chat
                    sessions will be held in 13 countries around
                    Europe during April and May to gather views from
                    the public as well as the private sector on the
                    European Commission's Green Paper, "Public Sector
                    Information in Europe". All events will eventually
                    lead up to a Public Hearing organised by the
                    European Commission in Brussels on 25 May 1999. 

                    On 20 January 1999, the Commission published the
                    Green Paper, which discusses how the information
                    gathered by government bodies can be used to
                    provide the greatest benefit for citizens and
                    businesses around Europe. 

                    During the events, all interested parties are
                    encouraged to put forward their views on the
                    issues raised in this Green Paper. Comments and
                    questions may be posted in advance of the live
                    session. 

                    The seminars and Internet chat sessions, which are
                    being organised by the Commission programmes
                    MIDAS-NET and INFO2000, will be held in
                    Luxembourg, Sweden, Spain, Germany, The
                    Netherlands, Norway, United Kingdom, Ireland,
                    Italy, Finland, France, Portugal and Iceland. They
                    all involve participation of officials of the
