".
My vote against the Telecom package (Harbour report) was prompted by the loopholes left in the Directive, which might be a potential breach of our freedoms. Member States authorise providers to follow the activities of individuals on the Internet. I hope that, when implementing these new rules, the Member States will not be tempted into filtering the content of the Internet. That task should be reserved solely for the police.
I understand that infringements of property rights on the Internet have to be dealt with, but that should not mean encroaching on the freedom of an individual Internet user. Surely we cannot create a situation where we are like a postman who opens letters to see whether the contents are actually legal?
The amendments with which the Greens sought to improve this text were rejected and so I can no longer support this proposal.
I would gladly have voted for the many consumer benefits, but I think it is unacceptable to make Internet providers responsible for the contents of the Internet. That was not the purpose of this legislation either."@en1
