"Mr President, I was privileged to be part of the European Parliament’s delegation in Tunis. Indeed I was also at the Geneva Summit and was able to follow the project through.
I share the regret expressed by Mrs Reding and my colleague Mrs Trautmann about what I regarded as the entirely unnecessary disruption of our meetings in a country that clearly has embraced many aspects of the digital revolution, as the previous speaker said. I could not understand why it was felt necessary to do that.
I want to concentrate on some of the achievements of the summit and, in particular, the policy that I called for after the Geneva Summit, which relates to how we can spread the capacity for computer science and research to the developing world so that they can develop their own products. We in the European Union have been hugely successful in the way that we have offered the benefits of our own networking technology through spreading the Géant Network to the developing world and also encouraging the development of open competitive markets to deliver high-quality services at competitive cost. That is a major achievement.
It was sad that, even so, this was a workshop full of professors and university researchers where the Tunisians chose to restrict attendance. It was unnecessary and took the shine off it. I admire Mrs Trautmann for the robust way in which she stood up to the interventions at our meeting. It was a pleasure to watch her."@en1
