Conclusion

ZAWiW, SEVEN final meeting in Brussels | 11.10. – 13.10. 2010Seite 22

The first important steps had been done fo implement the new information and communication tools and the Internet in the SEVEN and the SVP work, however, these tools are until now not so well known and nor widely used.

It makes sense to recognise their benefits and to give them more importance by the institutions, the mediators – and give the SVP good examples for the future.
