"Mr President, I would like to congratulate the rapporteur on focusing on the priority of accessibility, particularly accessibility for the elderly and people with disabilities. As regards the priority of the accessibility of the content of sites, particularly for the elderly and people with disabilities, I feel that we must focus our attention on civil and political rights, on the accessibility of these rights through the Internet. I believe that this is the priority as far as content is concerned. There is an urgent need for on-line publishing of all the formally public parts of institutional life – not just the political process but the judicial and administrative processes too – if we are to recapture one of the basic principles of liberal democracy. In this regard, I and another 62 Members – and I would point this out to Commissioner Liikanen too – have tabled a motion for a resolution on democracy, calling for European citizens to be able to fully enjoy the rights of citizenship guaranteed by the European Union Treaties through the Internet. I feel that this applies to all levels of public administration: in other words, our priority must be precisely to make it possible for everybody, including, that is, those who have most difficulty, the most trouble in gaining access to the Internet, to be able to fully exercise their civil rights through the Internet, the civil rights of the publishing of information on the work of the institutions, of access to democratic rights, in other words, the civil rights which can be exercised through the Web."@en1
