"I supported this report and the recommendations contained therein to amend Regulation (EC) No 864/2007, adding a provision regarding rights arising from the inviolability of privacy and rights relating to personality – the right to apply to a non-contractual obligation arising out of defamation, among other things, the law of the country in which the most significant elements of the loss or damage occur. This is necessary in order to prevent so-called ‘libel tourism’ that occurs at present, in which the aggrieved party chooses to initiate legal proceedings in the country in which s/he is most likely to obtain a favourable result (in the form of greater compensation, for instance), and thereby place publishers in an unfair position. Another recommendation contained in the report for solving the abovementioned problematic situation is to create a separate institution for the resolution of disputes arising from such cross-border violations of privacy and rights relating to personality (including defamation) – an extra-judicial dispute resolution centre that would, in addition to preventing libel tourism, help protect the publisher’s rights on a par with those of the aggrieved party."@en1
