"With a view to realising the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy, and given the strategic importance of the Digital Agenda for the benefit of the public, of businesses, and of the commitment to innovation and knowledge, universal access to efficient broadband networks is extremely important, not least for global competitiveness, economic growth and employment, involving the participation of all regions and social groups. I am therefore voting for this report, and I would also stress its advocating of investment and competition, so as to avoid distorting the market or creating an undue burden on the companies comprising it.
The protection of consumer interests and the promotion of consumer benefits are also amongst the important initiatives proposed. In contrast with this European effort and recognition of the Digital Agenda’s importance, I cannot fail to express my regret at Portugal’s wasting of funds intended to develop Internet and broadband infrastructure in rural areas, and to consolidate operations related to the ‘New Challenges’."@en1
