"I voted in favour of this motion for a resolution because I think it strikes a reasonable balance between the needs of the various parties in this sector. I think that, when such innovative subjects are involved, Parliament’s position should not be based on positions adopted in the past, but should always look to the future. This means evaluating every problem on a case-by-case basis, because over the past 16 years, from the extension of Internet access to all citizens up to the present time, we have witnessed a series of completely different developments with completely different political implications. The second important requirement is never to set boundaries that could be restrictive in the future. However, I would like to emphasise two aspects that should always be borne in mind: transparency and protecting consumers/users. These two aspects are not unrelated, as consumers must be able to learn about the instrument they are using, and to use it knowledgeably. Consumers must never be turned into uninformed users, or worse, Internet victims, nor should technology be allowed to impose choices that the market would be justified in rejecting."@en1
