lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I greatly appreciated the Commissioner’s approach to this discussion, because she stated that there are essentially no real infringements in Europe and also because she reassured us about the Commission’s role as guardian of the treaties and therefore also of press freedom and freedom of expression in Europe. Certain dangers nevertheless still remain. The Commissioner noted that almost half of the countries belonging to the European Union are subject to infringement proceedings to find out whether press freedom and freedom of expression are really guaranteed there. She also highlighted the preventive measures that must be implemented in these areas, emphasising however, that the problem is not specific to one State or to individual States. It is obviously not an Italian problem – Parliament expressed itself on this subject a few months ago by taking a democratic vote – and neither is it a political party problem, because we have just heard that in Germany, it is the socialist group that controls certain media outlets. The problem we must face in this Chamber is more general. Tomorrow, we will vote on a report on journalism and new media – creating a public sphere in Europe. This report contains certain guidelines on which our Parliament is beginning to express its opinion. We must talk about how to combine truth and freedom in the new media, but also in the more traditional media, because while it is one’s right to tell all, it is also one’s duty to tell the truth when writing or expressing oneself through a media outlet. We must also understand how to combine information with the right of citizens – of all citizens – to privacy. These are the issues we must tackle and to which Parliament must confine itself, not ideologies or certain matters concerning things that do not exist in any European country."@en1
