lpv:translated text	"Mr President, as the last Member of this House to speak on this important report, whose rapporteur, Mr van Velzen, I congratulate, it seems to me appropriate to remind you that this Commission communication is the gateway to a great reform and a redrafting of the legislation on licences, data protection, universal service and access to the networks. That is the true sense of this communication and my first request to the Commission is that we act in this area diligently, and with some urgency, since time is passing at Internet speed. Each year is equivalent to four years and we ask that those proposals included in the Commission’s legislative programme be communicated to Parliament as soon as possible. I think that I can say, on behalf of the whole House, that we will show a special interest in making the parliamentary procedure as quick as possible, as dictated by the importance of the issues in question. I believe that the citizens expect this of us and that the Treaty of Amsterdam allows us to shorten and speed up these processes. Many important things have been said. Allow me to support what has been said with regard to universal service, access for schools, etc. However, there are three questions which seem to me to be more problematic. Firstly, we must establish a better definition of what public service means, failing which we will not be able to make progress, and for the same reason we must also define what the general interest in the field of telecommunications really means. Secondly, we must separate the regulations for private open television and public television, regardless of the transmission system. Furthermore – and this has already been said – it is necessary to promote dialogue between the national regulators and the regulators of society, of the private sectors, on this “co-regulation” which is a distinguishing mark for Europe. Thirdly, I will say that it is necessary to protect – and we are relying on the diligence of Commissioner Bolkestein who is responsible for this area – this system which we are putting in place on copyright, which is one of the great traditions of European culture which is in real danger in this new state of affairs."@en1
