Country reports in local language may be obtained directly from the ESIS II contractor in charge of the country concerned. Also note that some reports are published on associated ESIS II local web sites.

Note of caution:

All the data has been collected from readily available public sources of information, such as ministries, other public sources of information, telecommunication operators, expert estimations, or international sources. Since they depend on definitions, which are not standardised in all countries, or, in some cases, on estimates, they should be considered only as indicative of trends and general tendencies. Furthermore, the indicators defined below do not always include data from all the countries analysed, since data has not always been available.

Please note that these reports have been prepared under the sole responsibility of the ESIS II contractors. They do not necessarily reflect the views of the Commission, nor does the Commission accept responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of information contained herein.

We welcome any additional information or corrections.
