lpv:translated text	". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I thank Mrs Trautmann for her excellent report, which addresses the topic of eliminating the digital divide. It is an issue of balanced development, but above all of social equality. With this in mind, information technology is a fundamental element for constructing a more culturally-rich and more unified society. The information society has to be accessible to all: an element of democracy that takes account of cultural diversities and that promotes the participation of the citizens, who are involved parties and not only consumers. The role of public investment is fundamental in order to safeguard the accessible character of information technology, for instance, in ensuring the development of free software and its adoption within public administration. There is, moreover, the issue of governance, which Europe has to address in order to establish a control mechanism at international level. The mandate of the ICANN is about to expire. It is a matter of ensuring the representativeness and the legitimacy of the new organisation managing the Internet, by establishing governance with various players: governments, NGOs, private sector, and civil society, each with its own role and clear obligations. In drafting the proposal, the fact that knowledge, as an instrument of development and of freedom, is a common asset should be reaffirmed. Worrying signs are, however, emerging from the Council, which are at odds with this. By means of the directive on the patenting of software, the right to free movement of knowledge is attacked, challenging the objective of the information society becoming accessible to all and thus undermining the very foundations of the Lisbon Strategy."@en1
