".
The very title of the Commission recommendation reveals the real intention of its authors, which is to leave the profitability of the entertainment and Internet industry well alone.
Secondary measures are being formulated which are directed at governments, the industry and parents and teachers and which do nothing to change the present wretched situation. The only proposal which would have been of substantial value would have been an express ban on the production and broadcasting of radio and television and electronic material with disgraceful content which insults human dignity.
As far as minors are concerned, industry is typically left unaccountable while additional incentives are proposed for the use, for example, of special filters for violent, racist and pornographic images. The burden of responsibility falls solely on parents to take lessons in how to use the Internet so that they can help their children.
The amendments by the Committee on Culture and Education do not differ substantially in any way from the foregoing.
Consequently, once again human dignity and the harmonious physical, mental and moral development of minors is getting into the Procrustean bed of the European audiovisual industry and the Lisbon Strategy, in other words of the savage exploitative system of the profitability of big business.
It is for these reasons that the parliamentary group of the Communist Party of Greece voted against the relevant texts."@en1
