Why Smart Cards?
• Political – The e-Europe Smart Card Charter highlights the desire of the European
Commission to utilise smart card technology as a citizen enabler– Smart cards can greatly enhance the achievement of key e-Government
objectives - Office e-Envoy
• Social– Increasing the take up of concessionary rates for services– Increasing the take up of welfare benefits by retaining accurate
information about eligibility– Reducing the stigma associated with claiming benefits and concessionary
rates
• Commercial– New sources of revenue – advertising, sponsorship– Facilitate improved tourism activities
