"Mr President, the Commissioner has very correctly identified some of the core issues that we must address: better access across the European Union and high—quality infrastructure. Certainly in my constituency in the north-west of England, in Cumbria, we are seeing the benefits of broadband connectivity provided through the European Union. There is so much else that has been put forward here that must be delivered, but from a citizens’ viewpoint, this is a crucial test for the European Union.
However, we are already behind. As far as our citizens are concerned, so many of them are already frustrated. When they pass through actual borders they do it seamlessly, but every time they do so we reinforce a virtual border for them in real terms. When the law is an ass, people will find a way around it. That is what we must do: ensure that they do not have to do that. Recent telecoms experience dictates to us that time is indeed of the essence. So many of our new start-ups are crying out for their vision to be fulfilled through the Digital Single Market. Please allow us to deliver that for them and do not allow it to be constrained by the short-sightedness and small-mindedness that some of the contributors demonstrated in this debate today."@en1
