What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Urges the Commission and the Member States to make swifter progress with the digitalisation of public services including schools, universities, research institutes, public transport, e-government and efficient administration
• Considers that empowering citizens, consulting the relevant stakeholders and involving local authorities are pivotal to both the proper planning and successful implementation of regional digital strategies
• Stresses that there are two sides to the digital divide: infrastructure and capacity, that their origins are different, and that different policies must be applied to them and tailored to their respective features

Quoted from A9-0010/2022, which says more than these lines. Each is a whole paragraph; this site does not rewrite them.
