lpv:translated text	"Mr President, may I say that both the committee and the rapporteur have taken a very balanced and level-headed approach to this issue. Unfortunately, virtual reality, while it has a great deal going for it, engenders not virtual but very real crimes which we need to deal with without making bogeymen of ourselves. We must be ready to prevent and punish these crimes as and when they appear. Secure infrastructures and crime prevention need to go hand in glove with respect for freedoms and personal data protection. This is something which we should never forget and which needs to be kept in a state of equilibrium. Obviously we need coordination at international level and obviously the role of the Member States and of the European Union is to operate in international organisations with an appropriate strategy because we cannot resolve the problem alone. The Internet is international and needs to be addressed internationally. Obviously we need better definitions of the various types of crimes. We cannot talk in general terms and what appear to be the most important issues today, i.e. pornography, hackers and racism, will not necessarily be the most important issues tomorrow. Commercial crime is also very important and I think that we need to work with industry and the banks here if we are to be sure that the solutions found are indeed the most suitable. One particular aspect, which colours all the rest, is intellectual property, which is in huge danger and could end up disadvantaging authors and artists. I think that we need working protection rather than excessive measures which will stop the Internet from operating."@en1
