". – First, in reply to Mrs Gill's remark on security standards, we have proposed the establishment of the network security agency so that common standards can be found.
Second, the participation of private sector businesses and others will be taken into account. This is something that Parliament has long been pushing for. Mr Paasilinna, Mr van Velzen, Mrs Plooij-van Gorsel and Mrs Mann all spoke very convincingly on that issue tonight in the presence of the Italian presidency, and we are very proud of that. There seems to be a strong body of opinion in favour of what the Commission proposed earlier.
Keeping up with changing technology will always be a challenge for us. The information society technologies programme, however, is one area where we can help: research programmes are ongoing in that field, and there is also the stakeholders' group. I hope that the European Network and Information Security Agency will be a kind of 'hub of hubs' in this area, where the best knowledge can be exchanged.
Once again I should like to thank Mr Paasilinna, Mrs Cederschiöld, Mr van Velzen, Mrs Mann, Mrs Plooij-van Gorsel, Mr Harbour and Mrs Gill. I should like you, Mr President, to pass on a message to the Bureau that these people deserve a chance to have a debate on the information society during the daytime. Since I have been in this House this has never happened before 9.30 p.m. at the earliest. This gives the impression that 'future' issues are discussed in the evening and 'past' issues during the day. Could this change, even just once, before the European elections? I trust that you will pass on this modest wish. With this team you could run any file in Europe, and they deserve to do this during the day from time to time.
I got a little emotional there but I should now comment on the amendments! The Commission can accept all the compromise amendments as voted on 17 November 2003 in the Committee on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy. None of the other amendments can be accepted."@en1
