"I would like to begin by congratulating our rapporteurs who have been working flat out on this package for more than a year. This is actually an extremely important package for the European Union’s citizens.
This package includes numerous documents. I think it is important for me to refer first of all to Mrs Trautmann’s report, which sets out the regulatory framework for the electronic communications sector and has covered a number of extremely important aspects, such as functional separation, spectrum policy, as well as the use and promotion of new generation networks. I welcome the fact that functional separation was adopted and accepted as an urgent, special measure.
In addition, I believe that it is vital for us to emphasise here that consumers’ rights must be protected. This is why Mr Harbour’s report touched on these aspects and our colleague, Reino Paasilinna, successfully supported the European Socialists’ point of view, which is that the key element must be the consumer. It is important how the contractual clauses are negotiated so that any consumer can be protected.
On the subject of technological neutrality, it is useful that a wide range of technical options is made available to everyone in this way. But I would like to stress that the Internet offers huge opportunities. It is important for consumers and users to be protected and for there to be no interference with personal data, which must also be protected. Above all, we must protect intellectual property, but not to the detriment of consumers’ interests."@en1
