For her, France can not “afford to be passive in this revolution, we need to put the highest possible print bar and the change over to modernize public action.”
To do this, the government decided to instill the digital in all aspects of French life: economy, tourism, education, health, data management, relationship with the authorities … At the risk of sending a confused message and drown the audience in a catalog of good intentions, in which it is sometimes difficult to distinguish the novelty of what has already been established. “This was essential, critics of France, explaining that we are always late are not aware of what is at work, the idea is to say: this is what is courses and how we go even further “, meets the Secretary of State
Digital:. the main measures of the government
The government released Thursday, June 18 its digital strategy. Among the measures it contains, some are already known or switched, but others are more novel

First major project, the economy. With in gondola, development and financing of start-ups. Ms Lemaire hopes to “show that France is an attractive country, we innovate it, our businesses winning contracts” . His goal: “capture some money from international venture capital,” so that young shoots remain French on French soil and there “create growth and employment . ” For this, the government wants to bring in France, in October, the largest fund in Silicon Valley to show them what’s going on.
“We will, moreover, come to Paris startups most emblematic of all the territory so that they show to investors the level and quality of what they do “, says the secretary of state.
In terms of the relationship between large companies and start-ups, “We’ll make sure to establish a good practice guide to enable large companies and start-ups to work together in good conditions.

The Secretary of State shall, also very attached to the digital transition of TPE / PME (“very small” and “small and medium” enterprises). “We must work for the internet to become a lever for growth rather than a threat “, says the secretary of state.
The thorny issue of net neutrality
Côté education, the government is going to label fifty training in digital businesses. To “training young people in jobs that French companies are desperate: this may be developer, web designer, host of online communities …” , details the secretary of state.
The thorny issue of net neutrality, which enshrines the principle of non-discrimination of networks data, currently being negotiated in Brussels, is one of the key points of the strategy presented Thursday. Ms Lemaire wishes “that France can bring into law a definition of neutrality that leaves the possibility of innovation” , before an agreement is reached at European level.
Moreover, “The government will work with the Council of Europe to draft a charter of citizens’ rights and digital,” ad Axelle Lemaire, who dreams of a protocol supplementing the European Convention on Human Rights.
So the government could ensure that it is forbidden to cut their consumer internet connection.
Go faster than Brussels
On the personal data, the information held by the giants of the net like Facebook or Google, the government wants to move faster than Brussels’ There will be a law French [on the regulation of the use of these data] before the entry into force of the European regulation in 2018 at the earliest, but we have a French vision that will also influence negotiations Brussels’ wants to believe Axelle Lemaire. The menu including the option to transfer their data from one service to another. This will make it possible to transfer photos or information on a new social network, if we want to change it.
The Secretary of State would even like public companies such as EDF and SNCF share data they have tried to “general interest” . The idea: to help develop new services by using the wealth of information available
The government wants to beef up the role of the deputy head of the data, a position created late 2014 by decree.. “Its existence will be perpetuated in the law to give it the legitimacy to intervene with the authorities and to organize open data flow” explains the secretary of state.
Creating a “platform state”
Another concern of the executive cybersecurity. This is “answer a distress and need more and stronger, in private as in government and business,” by Ms. Lemaire. A platform to assist victims of cyber attacks will be established at 1 st half of 2016. A call for projects dedicated to the protection of privacy will be launched in July, without further details. “There is a gap between what the law says and feel the people control of their data. Technology can bridge that gap, “ hope Secretary of State
Scan utility also seems to be at the heart of government concerns:. To make ” utility tomorrow more efficient and personalized “, the executive wants the creation of a ” platform state “. Understanding: a place where developers can find API (“Application Programming Interface”, or application programming interface), that is to say means for interrogating the state databases and interact with computer systems to develop new services.
“You need to go as a coordinated platform strategy for public services with a single entry portal to all services [State] for users “ Note Axelle Lemaire. More concretely, citizens can, for example, by the end of the year refuse to interact with the administration by mail and claim an electronic exchange. Ms Lemaire would also import the start-up culture in the government, to enable teams to work more agile way.
The government forgets some of the recommendations of the National Council of the digital
The National Digital Council presented its report from a broad public consultation initiated several months ago. It is on this basis that the government has set its strategy unveiled this June 18 Some provisions have been taken by the executive, but others have been forgotten.
This is mostly proposals that will reverse the recent government initiatives. No trace of the announced measures in the recommendation of CNN burn into law the requirement to pass by a judge to block a site. The government managed to last fall to introduce administrative blocking without judge, terrorist sites.
No trace either to the promotion of data encryption, a way that can be set up by companies and individuals to protect them. According to Mediapart, specify requirements using cryptography failed to be included in the bill on intelligence.
Exit also the will to prohibit “mass flow monitoring and data” Yet advocated by CNN, just days after the vote in Parliament of the law on intelligence.
With the presentation of this strategy, the government appears to be in the second digital breath, after a sequence of several months marked by the laws on terrorism and intelligence where the Internet was seen more as a threat than an opportunity. “The digital law must soothe, be the law of liberty” and says Secretary of State
