propose the renewal of the Strategy, its strategic orientations, objectives, measures and method of
implementation.
Being a strategic document, the Development strategy for the information society until 2020 has no
direct financial implications; it is a guiding principle of development activities in the field of information
society. Financial implications will arise with the implementation of the Strategy, which, at the request
of the European Commission (the Strategy being a precondition for the disbursement of structural
funds), also includes key priority projects and financial resources that are guaranteed in principle. In
preparing the Strategy, particular attention has been devoted to its feasibility, so only projects and
resources provided by the ministries involved have been considered. Notwithstanding the above, the
implementation of the strategy will be limited by the resources available within the respective
applicable state budget, thus having regard to Article 23 of the Budget Implementation Act, which
provides that the amount earmarked for specific expenditure can only be in the amount specified by
the budget. The strategy’s implementation will also be limited by the resources available within the
Operational Programme 2014 – 2020.
