  6. PSI Re-used and Value Added (PSI = Public Sector Information) • Improve access to high quality digital content on the global network - creation of the structured CAP content, • Improve access in multiple languages – providing relevant CAP content dedicated to the farmers in V4 countries – the eFarmer system will communicate in English and four national languages, • Accelerate development of the European information society – Increase the use of information technology within agricultural sector through eFarmer agents, • Contribution to the objectives of the updated eEurope 2005 Action Plan – the eFarmer system brings new opportunities for private investments – at the end of the project an eFarmer Plc.
