"The Internet plays a fundamental role in global and European society. It is being used more and more, and in many aspects of our citizens’ lives, and thus has a bearing on basic social issues such as free competition and freedom of information and expression. That is why I believe that we should encourage its openness and neutrality, but that we should also bear in mind the many implications that the world of the Internet, a world that is often difficult to interpret, can have. Risks and dangers are, in fact, commonplace, especially where personal privacy and child protection are concerned. The commercial aspect also offers a further incentive to improve legislation in this field, in order to enhance entrepreneurial opportunities. Due consideration should, however, be given to measures to combat dominant market positions. Freedom and neutrality of the Internet should also take account of potential distortions, such as those highlighted in the report, so that they can be applied in full and can become genuinely useful instruments for citizens and entrepreneurs who use the Internet."@en1
