"I voted in favour of this resolution. The text is positive overall, as it reaffirms its strong position in favour of net neutrality and the guarantee of an open Internet, and specifically calls on the Commission to quickly assess the need for any new European legislation to guarantee such neutrality. Nevertheless, I regret the resolution’s economics-based approach, its failure to refer to the negotiations on the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) and, above all, its ambiguity regarding the possible interpretation of restrictions by operators on mobile Internet access in the event of network congestion. The resolution reaffirms various principles, such as freedom of expression and the protection of privacy, and warns against the risks threatening the promotion of, and respect for, human rights in the field of Internet access and use more generally. Together with NGOs, we must be vigilant and ensure that any new European legislation is assessed quickly and that the European Commission legislates if the conclusions of that assessment call for it. Together, we have a duty to uphold and enforce this political commitment of the European Parliament to a free, neutral and democratic Internet."@en1
