Hollannin ylähuone vaihtoi paperikasat taulutietokoneisiinHollannin parlamentin ylähuone siirtyi tänä syksynä kertarysäyksellä paperittomuuteen. Kun 75 senaattoriapalasivat pari viikkoa sitten lomaltaan, heilleannettiinupouudet taulutietokoneet räätälöityinesenaattiohjelmistoineen ja neuvottiinlopettamaaasiakirjojen tulostaminen tykkänään. Ylähuoneen pääsihteerin mukaan senaattorit ovat olleet tyytyväisiä. "Aiemmin meille kärrättiin joka viikko valtavat kasat papereita, mutta nyt voimme joka perjantai-iltapäivä avata senaattiohjelman, josta löytyvät kaikki seuraavan viikon asiakirjat", kertoi pääsihteeri Geert Jan Hamilton. Koneiden hankinta maksoi parlamentille noin 150 000 euroa, mutta Hamiltonin mukaan tulostamiskuluista ja kuriirimaksuista kertyy joka vuosi säästöä melkein saman verran, 140 000 euroa. Koneiden ylläpito ja satunnaiset tulostamiset maksavat noin 35 000 euroa vuodessa. Edes tietoturva ei ole ongelma, sillä senaattorien käsittelemät asiakirjat ovat useimmiten julkisia.
