lpv:translated text	"I warmly welcomed the report on the amendment of the Directives on users’ rights in electronic communications networks drawn up by Mr Harbour. It is a balanced document intended to significantly improve the condition of the market in electronic services. It was right to draft compromise amendments that were accepted by a significant majority of Members of this House. This made it possible to adopt the report as a whole, despite the very large number of amendments. The Union's legal provisions in the area of telecommunications date back to the 1990s. I believe that the amendments to the Directives represent a great opportunity to adjust them to the tremendous technological changes that have taken place. This is particularly important since we intend to add mobile communications and broadband Internet access to universal services. Licence holders should be assured of the right to full information on all restrictions concerning access to legal software. Service providers must ensure security of the network, protect users' personal data and stem the flood of so-called spam. I believe that it is especially important to take account of the needs of disabled and elderly people, who need to have easier access to telecommunications services. It is to be hoped that appropriate new technical solutions for equipment will emerge. I trust that such developments will result in a significant reduction in the cost of telecommunications services across the entire Union. At present, we are still obliged to pay unfair high prices for the transmission of data across the Union's internal borders, despite the existence of the Schengen system."@en1
