                       COMPUTER AND RELATED SERVICES



     In  computer  services, a sector that is key to the development of the
     Information  Society  in Europe, the Commission proposes to offer full
     market  access to foreign service providers, including to high-skilled
     self-employed computer experts.   This should enable Europe to benefit
     from  the  best  computer  services at the lowest cost, with a view to
     reach the goal set in the "Lisbon strategy".
