Sweden has the most advanced electronic government services in the European Union, closely followed by Austria and Malta ranking mid-way in an EU compiled scoreboard, in 16th position.
The European Commission yesterday published the results of a survey which examined 14,000 websites in 28 countries, the 25 EU member states plus Norway, Iceland and Switzerland. The method used defined an index of sophistication of services ranging from simple online information to fully interactive services including online payments and, where appropriate, online service delivery.
