"The open nature of the Internet is a key driving force for competition, growth, social development and innovation which have led to huge developments in online applications, content and services, which, in turn, has led to an increase in the availability of, and demand for, content and services. It is thanks to this openness that the Internet has become a powerful force in the free spread of knowledge, ideas and information, including in countries where access to independent media is restricted. Internet services are offered on a cross-border basis and the Internet is the basis for the global economy and, if we refer to the Digital Agenda for Europe, broadband Internet connections are a major motor of economic growth, job creation and European competitiveness at world level.
In my opinion, Europe will only be capable of fully using the potential of the digital economy by stimulating a properly functioning internal digital market. The solutions proposed for resolving the problem of web neutrality can only be effective if there is a consistent European approach. For this reason, we need to carefully monitor internal national regulations on web neutrality for their effect on individual internal markets and the European internal market. Cooperation and coordination between the Member States and, in particular, between the national regulatory authorities, as well as cooperation and coordination with the Commission, is therefore the only way in which the Union will be able to fully utilise the potential of the Internet."@en1
