lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I come from journalism and I think that I know very well to what degree there is freedom of speech in Europe today. I consider that there is freedom of speech, but that it belongs to the owners of the media, it belongs to the owners of radio and television stations. It also belongs, to a degree, to those who have a secure income or a secure job. Thereafter, freedom of speech is lost for many thousands or perhaps many millions of people. I should like to say to the Commission that there is a way of increasing the power of journalism. Will a journalist have a job if he disagrees in his report with the owner? Can he take recourse to an agency and seek to exercise his right to freedom of speech, regardless of whether what he says conflicts with what the owner believes? Can we, as the European Union, create such an agency to which a journalist can take recourse, knowing that he will have a job the next day? Obviously, freedom of speech should not depend on a journalist’s ‘bravery’, because there are such brave journalists and well done to them. They are fighters. However, we should work to ensure that all journalists enjoy this freedom. I should like to close with a reference to the Internet, which goes to the other extreme. Here, freedom of speech often borders on unaccountability. How can we control who says what, who insults whom, who threatens whom on the Internet, without some sort of control on the ‘freedom’ of the Internet?"@en1
