"Mr President, we would do well to remember that telecoms were created by private individuals like Bell and Marconi. The World Wide Web was invented by Tim Berners-Lee and presented by him as a great gift to society at large. These developments were not invented by governments or regulators, still less by the European institutions. Given that the Internet is global, there is a clear need for a degree of mutual recognition and regulatory convergence but there is no need for massive regulatory interference from Brussels. At a time when our Liberal colleague Sir Graham Watson is proposing an EU propaganda programme funded by taxpayers’ money, there are credible fears that EU control of the Internet will lead to control of content, if not downright censorship. Even the British and German Governments have recognised the dangers inherent in this excessively complex proposal and have called for a much simpler and more streamlined approach. They are right to do so. If the answer is more heavy-handed EU regulation, then we are asking the wrong question."@en1
