"Mr President, I would like to thank the rapporteur for her work. I was not one of those who agreed with the consensus in committee about the tabling of no amendments. That does not mean I did not appreciate her very solid work and I would also like to thank her very warmly for taking to heart the concerns that I expressed in committee, particularly on the liability of intermediary service providers, codes of conduct and the participation of consumers.
Without consumer confidence
commerce is going nowhere. This is fundamental, horizontal legislation that is going to be dealing with the whole Internet and its commercial viability. Unless we have consumer confidence and can deal with illegal content speedily without resorting to lengthy court cases, we will not have the kind of ground rules which citizens and consumers need and require.
There has already been reference here tonight to the need for revision. Even before we adopt the directive we are talking about revision and I think that is very wise. Some of the concerns that have been expressed here tonight, particularly about dealing with illegal content and consumer acceptance, need to be being already pursued by the Commission before we adopt this fully as a European directive.
I would like finally to thank again the rapporteur for taking on board the serious concerns that we expressed in committee."@en1
