"Madam President, I would like to congratulate the rapporteurs, the Commission, Mrs Trautmann and Mr Harbour, who have succeeded in reaching a last-minute compromise. After two years of intense work, we have achieved this compromise in an area that will mark the future of a leading industrial sector.
The Commission’s proposal on use of the spectrum has been amended in the right direction, with respect shown for the achievements in satellite technology, and the Commission’s announcement of a future debate on universal service and the other legal problems that still remain suggests that the work will continue. This is therefore only a first step in anticipation of other regulations.
This project will provide citizens with extraordinary access to information and culture. Many problems remain, however, from the point of view of infrastructure and quality, because access of the same quality is still not guaranteed to everyone, if one considers the many technical problems that still exist in relation to wireless communication.
Issues of freedom of access to the Internet, problems of copyright and confidentiality, combined with the concern to protect against crime, to safeguard ethical rules and to protect young people– is that not a bit too much to manage? As for those who are sceptical about the compromise, will they be able to put forward a ready-made solution that is applicable immediately?
I think that this project represents a considerable advance. Let us therefore give the regulators whom we put in place a chance, and the sceptics will then be able to influence these new institutions, which will have only to prove their effectiveness."@en1
