Telematic networks contributing to the objectives of the eEurope initiative and related action plan, in particular the chapter on government online, aimed at benefiting citizens and enterprises, should be considered projects of common interest under the IDA programme.

Earlier OLDI links were based on proprietary protocols such as INTERCAUTRA or Datenübertragungsund Verteilungssystem (DÜV), which run over dedicated point-to-point circuits or limited networks, and require the use of specialised hardware and software.

Telematic networks concerning immigration policy, notably through the implementation of improved electronic data exchange with the national administrations in order to facilitate information and consultation procedures, should be considered projects of common interest under the IDA programme.

The European University Network will be composed of those universities which, in the framework of the Erasmus programme, have concluded agreements and organize programmes providing for exchanges of students and teachers with universities of other Member States and ensuring full recognition of study periods thus accomplished outside the home university.

The intended grants will be specified in the IDA work programme for each IDA project or network concerned and for the current budgetary year, in terms of their maximum allowable value, the expected benefits to IDA projects and networks, the objectives to be achieved, the beneficiary administrations in the Member States and the tasks to be financed by means of such grants.
