I´m quite more optimistic than you. The inclusión of the citizen-driven concept in a Ministerial Declaration is something we could no think of a yera ago. The commitment towards engagement and transparency of the first priority, I agree with you is the more dramatical change in EU e-gov policies. However, I think you have skipped over some points:
- point 18 is closer to the employee-centric concept
- point 19 is a commitment towards green gov
- the end of point 26a shows concerns about exploring the reasons why eGov services are not used

Of course, everything is described using “ministerial” language, but …

Impressive analysis as usual. The question in the UK as raised by Micahel Cross in the Guardian will depend upon which political party wins the election next year, since their policies diverge over this.
