"Yesterday afternoon, Mr Mario Mauro, my Italian colleague from the European People's Party, organised a meeting on the future of the Internet. I had already prepared the explanation of my vote for the motion, but I altered it after taking part in his meeting, which, moreover, was extremely interesting, as his meetings always are. However, half way through the meeting, Mr President, Mr Mauro used an example. He said: "You see, the Internet is a tool, not an end in itself. For example, here is a glass. Can you see this glass? It is to be used for drinking. If, however, I pick it up and smash it over Mr Fatuzzo's head," – this is exactly what he said – "Mr Fatuzzo's head will be in pieces and the glass will not have been used for drinking".
He used this example to explain that the Internet must be used properly, not abused. I agree with him for, apart from anything else, it is not difficult to realise that if I had not voted for the motion 636 glasses would have been smashed over my head."@en1
