In particular, the report stresses that:
We also see the need to refer to the deficiencies in the on-line procedures offered by administrations.
As far as the Basque Autonomous Community is concerned, we would like to point out that citizens have detected deficiencies in employment services, in the use of computer resources in Basque, in the use of public transport, in the support of information campaigns...
