considers that the actions proposed in the Communication, as they stand, do not appear to raise any issue regarding their compliance with either the subsidiarity or proportionality principles; stresses, however, that regional and local authorities should be systematically involved in the conception, implementation and governance of the measures designed to put the Digital Agenda for Europe into effect (particularly concerning the action areas Interoperability and Standards, Fast and ultra fast internet access, Enhancing digital literacy, skills and inclusion and ICT-enabled benefits for EU society for example in relation to e-Government services ...[+++], climate change and intelligent transport systems).

ACTIONS The Commission will: Key Action 10: Propose digital literacy and competences as a priority for the European Social Fund regulation (2014-2020); Key Action 11: By 2012, develop tools to identify and recognise the competences of ICT practitioners and users, linked to the European Qualifications Framework[49] and to EUROPASS[50] and develop a European Framework for ICT Professionalism to increase the competences and the mobility of ICT practitioners across Europe; Other actions: Make digital literacy and skills a priority of the "New skills for new jobs" Flagship to be launched in 2010[51], including the launch of a multi-stakehol ...[+++]der sectoral council for ICT skills and employment to address demand and supply aspects; Promote a higher participation of young women and women returners in the ICT workforce through support for web-based training resources, game based eLearning and social networking; Develop in 2011 an online consumer education tool on new media technologies (e.g. consumer rights on the internet, eCommerce, data protection, media literacy, social networks etc.).

Given the transversal role of digital competences across the economy, the Digital Agenda for Europe is an essential catalyst that can help provide the right digital competences for workers and job-seekers, with targeted efforts to promote basic digital literacy for those with least competences such as the elderly, less-educated persons or SMEs employees but also to promote specialised and advanced ICT competences for those holding specific job profiles such as ICT practitioners.

Initial vocational education and training (IVET) must equip young learners with skills directly relevant to evolving labour markets, such as e-skills[4], and highly developed key competences[5]; such as digital and media literacy to achieve digital competence[6]; it has a particular role to play in addressing Europe's high youth unemployment.

Media literacy in the digital era is about the empowerment and emancipation of citizens, much like being able to read and write was a century ago," she stated.
