The questions, used as criteria, have been retrieved from the official “ICT Implication AssessmentAssessment method of EU Legislation.” Following the multicriteria methodMulticriteria method of PROMETHEE IIPROMETHEE II is applied for the total ranking in order to identify the “superior” ones, which present high dependence on and complexity of the ICT implications.
