New Ways to Work <strong>2000</strong><strong>European</strong> <strong>Telework</strong>improve industrial communication in the textile and clothing sector between <strong>European</strong> Union and MediterraneanBasin countries. It is focused on the need for standardised technical information in clothing chains, and seeks tofacilitate exchange of this information, contributing to the generation of EDI voluntary standards for the exchange ofclothing products technical data, including the provision of efficient technical tools.The main steps for the realisation of the objectives of the project are, the identification and specification of userrequirements, the development and formulation of standard technical specification sheets, the exchange of technicalspecifications in an electronic form and the dissemination of the results achieved.The project builds upon the developed infrastructure, know-how, results and reputation gained through activities ofall its members-partners: that is three Textile Technological Centres: CLOTEFI, Greece- CETIH, France- CETTEX,Tunisia, EDIGRAC, an organisation activating in EDI and 4 industrial companies: TRIUMPH International- Greece,Maroc Modis & Kandy- Morocco and Delsa, Tunisia. All the critical phases/elements during the implementation ofthe project are monitored on a regular basis, to guarantee continuous control, to identify common problems and toimprove and adapt the selected methodology.Project period: October 1997 – September <strong>2000</strong>Contact:CLOTEFI SAClothing, Textile & Fibre Technical Development S.A.4, El.

A monitoring and support structure will be build to provide the teleworkers with the necessarytools to develop highly professional services to the final client, which are large and medium sized companies. In ashort term, 240 disabled people will be integrated in areas like accounting, programming, technical assistance tocomputer systems, etc.Contact:TELEMANutencao –Assistencia Remota a Computadores, S.A.Apartado 117, Avenida Miguel Bombarda, N° 8 FP-2780 Oeiras, PortugalMiguel ReynoldsTel:+351-21-4416965Fax:+351-21-4415767E-mail:global@teleman.ptTOBASCO Towards Broadband Access Systems for CATV Optical networks ACTS ProgrammeThe aim of TOBASCO is to upgrade existing CATV networks with high splitting counts, with broadband interactiveservices by applying High-Density Wavelength Division Multiplexing in a cost effective way, and to demonstrate theviability of the system in a field trial. Thus the project will advance the introduction of interactive services in existingCATV networks.Interactive services on CATV networks will allow mass participation in applications as telework and telelearning.The project will contribute to the promotion of those applicationsContact:Forward Looking WorkBell Laboratories, Lucent TechnologiesP.O.
