The European Commission's Information Society DG has issued an open call for tenders for an Internet audience measurement service in Internet users and use.
The eEurope 2002 action plan was launched at the Feira European Council in June 2000.

To monitor these developments, the Commission in cooperation with the Council, has agreed a list of indicators to benchmark eEurope.
The Internet audience measurement service should cover the indicator on frequency of use, social data of the users and type of use for at least 90 per cent of the Internet population of the EU (plus, if possible, Norway, Iceland and the United States).
