The GSSE, i. e. General Services Support Estimate(research, specialist training, inspection services, marketing, etc.) increased within the total support granted to the agricultural sector(TSE), and reached 17% in the OECD [Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development] region(the same applies to Hungary). One third of the general services represented infrastructure support; subsidies for inventories declined, while the proportion of marketing and promotional support replacing price subsidies increased.

The Digitally Divided. Recent federal government studies have found access and use of technology for certain minorities, the poor, individuals with disabilities, and those living in center cities or in rural areas lagging far behind the general population. The vast majority of Goodwill' s current customers fall into this category of the "digitally divided" or "information have-nots. "Increasingly, it is through technology and the Internet that customers access training, find employment, communicate with employers, get higher paying jobs, learn about support services, and are enabled to fully participate in a society that is driven more and more by technology.

L'Internet et les nouvelles technologies favorisent ce qui, selon l'OCDE, s'apparente à un «démantèlement» des systèmes scolaires et ouvrent la voie à la «société en réseau». Cette évolution signe l'exclusion de tous ceux qui comptaient sur l'école pour s'intégrer et se socialiser. Car, même si quelques écoles publiques subsistent «pour les exclus du numérique», elles courent le risque de se transformer en «dépotoirs». Les sources de financement se diversifient : les entreprises et les médias intensifient leur présence sur le marché de l'éducation.

OBS

[The] Intersecretariat Committee on Scientific Programmes Relating to Oceanography(ICSPRO)... was established in 1969, independent of the ACC, for the purpose of enlisting and coordinating interagency support for the scientific programmes of the IOC, which was established in 1960. Its mandate and membership is thus more limited than that of the ACC Subcommittee, with a focus on marine scientific research and support services. ICSPRO now meets for one or two days in connection with annual sessions of the ACC Subcommittee and currently its work is focused primarily on developing and coordinating contributions of UN agencies to the 1998 International Year of the Ocean(an initiative of UNESCO and proclaimed in 1994 by the General Assembly) and to "Expo ’98" in Lisbon, an international event entitled "The Oceans : A Heritage for the Future. "Its work thus does not overlap that of the Subcommittee. The members of ICSPRO are the UN(DOALOS), UNESCO(IOC), IMO, WMO, FAO and UNEP.
