"Where a person believes his or her rights have been infringed through content placed online on a website, he or she should have the option of bringing an action for liability, with a view to compensation for the damage caused. However, the Rome II Regulation does not include provisions setting out the law applicable to violations of privacy and rights relating to personality. This loophole has contributed to the emergence of controversy on ‘libel tourism’, whereby the claimant chooses the jurisdiction allowing him or her the most favourable result: ‘forum shopping’. I am therefore voting for this initiative and call on the Commission to table the necessary proposals for correcting this situation. I also consider important the proposal to create a centre for the voluntary settlement of cross-border disputes arising out of violations of privacy and rights relating to personality, including defamation. This should be another step towards the pursuit of a genuine European area of justice, which should always take into account promoting access to justice, safeguard the smooth running of the internal market, and ensure the proper balance between freedom of expression and the right to private life."@en1
