General European governments slow to support IT. On a visit to London, Euripa's President Robert Weir said that European governments are clearly lagging behind those of the US and Japan in recognising the strategic and economic value of information technology. His visit followed an invitation from Graham Seddon, Managing Director of BRS Europe who believes that the European Information Industry is at a critical stage. ‘European businesses are beginning to appreciate that electronic information is easy to access and significantly contributes to a company's competitive position. A number of European information suppliers are becoming established but governments must help to reduce barriers and provide the right climate for growth,’ Seddon says.
