"Mr President, the new information and communication technologies have a fundamental impact on the daily lives of our citizens and on the very economy of our societies. It is, therefore, becoming crucial to ensure that there is rigorous protection against potential abuses or even criminal acts. We talk of cybercrime, both in terms of fundamental rights and privacy and also in the context of services of general interest, bank transfers, investments, credit card fraud amongst others. Mrs Cederschiöld is therefore right to call for a coherent European strategy which, on the one hand, ensures the freedom of the market and improves the security of information services and infrastructures and, on the other, fights against criminal activities that affect not only the interests of individual citizens but also public interest itself. We are also discussing the report by Mr Cappato, whom I should like to congratulate on his work on the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the telecommunications sector. This is a report that warranted a lengthy debate and which seeks to find a balance between the protection of private life, the legal aspects and the interests of industry. Apart from the issues concerning intervention by Member States when carrying out criminal investigations, the main issue concerns . I agree with the position put forward by Mr von Boetticher on behalf of the PPE-DE Group, but I must also add my own personal view: in terms of protecting the interests of consumers, I incline more towards the Commission’s proposal than to that tabled by Mr Cappato, more towards the opt-in solution than towards opting out. The question is whether it is effective, especially if it is only adopted by the European Union. This is an issue that concerns the Union’s relationship with its partners, something that has already been mentioned in this debate. I am sure that none of us wishes to see an e-mail system becoming increasingly unusable because it is swamped and blocked up by countless messages of this type, unsolicited and often of dubious taste."@en1
