lpv:translated text	"It is not the first time and certainly not the last time that I am making a statement regarding the stakes related to the development of electronic commerce services. Indeed I think that, while one should be delighted that trade is facilitated by developments in information technology, it is nonetheless necessary to remain as vigilant as possible and ensure that there is a fair balance between the interests of the service providers and consumer protection. We must take new data into consideration: electronic communications and transactions are becoming more developed and more widespread. Sectorial products and services are generating a rapidly expanding world market. Its growth is expected to exceed 100% by the year 2001. This means that regulations to control this new market must be adopted as quickly as possible. Indeed, while it is generating new possibilities for firms of all sorts to make profits, it is, at the same time, creating a certain lack of security for consumers. It is therefore imperative to perfect standards for security and for the legal recognition of electronic signatures and authentication services (authentication of the origin and integrity of data). This is what the directive we are discussing today proposes. At the time of the first reading, the European Parliament proposed several amendments. We were pleased to note that many of them were adopted in the common position. This must also apply to the amendments proposed today. This directive must form an initial step in the development of a European framework in the field of electronic commerce, while bearing in mind that we cannot afford to wait long before having worldwide discussions on this subject."@en1
