Since it is free and open, the Internet presents an important tool for propelling global competitiveness, economic growth and innovations. The free flow of knowledge, access to information and especially service applications – they all have a huge bearing on the consumer society and economic activities. The European Parliament has made a political commitment to ensure net neutrality by adopting on 20 October of this year the report to this effect drafted by Herbert Reul. The text adopted today, while confirming our commitment, simultaneously draws attention to the exigency of providing a decisive response to attempts undertaken by some operators of telecommunication networks and other agencies to limit access to the Internet.
Though pleased with the proposal put forward by the Commission to the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) – the EU regulator of telecommunications – to investigate possible cases of anti-neutrality, I still join those who urge the European Commission to submit, as quickly as possible, a proposal for a regulation on openness of the Internet and network neutrality. We must take every effort so as to ensure the free flow of information for all Internet users."@en1
