# Decision no 456/2005/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2005 establishing a multiannual Community programme to make digital content in Europe more accessible, usable and exploitable (Text with EEA relevance), Division I: INTRODUCTION

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

eContentplus has the overall aim of making digital content in Europe more accessible, usable and exploitable, facilitating the creation and diffusion of information, in areas of public interest, at Community level.
It will create better conditions for accessing and managing digital content and services in multilingual and multicultural environments. It will broaden users' choice and support new ways of interacting with knowledge-enhanced digital content, a feature which is becoming essential to make content more dynamic and tailored to specific contexts (learning, cultural, people with special needs, etc.).
The Programme will pave the way for a structured framework for quality digital content in Europe — The European Digital Content Area — by facilitating transfer of experiences, best practice and cross-fertilisation between content sectors, content providers and users.
Three lines of action are foreseen:
(a) facilitating at Community level access to digital content, its use and exploitation;
(b) facilitating improvement of quality and enhancing best practice related to digital content between content providers and users, and across sectors;
(c) reinforcing cooperation between digital content stakeholders and awareness.
