"It is extremely important that corrective remedies are available when freedom is abused, particularly when this is to the detriment of people’s private lives and reputations. Each Member State should ensure that such remedies are effective in the event that these rights are infringed. Member States should also strive to ensure that prohibitively high legal costs do not, in practice, result in any claimant being denied access to justice. Each State must determine the proper balance between the right to respect for private life and the right to freedom of expression, as it thinks fit. These rights are guaranteed by the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. In order to promote the public goods of reducing litigation, promoting access to justice, ensuring the proper functioning of the internal market and securing an appropriate balance between freedom of expression and the right to a private life, I think the Commission should carry out extensive consultations with interested parties, including journalists, the media and specialist lawyers and judges, with a view to proposing the creation of a centre for the voluntary settlement of cross-border disputes arising out of violations of privacy and rights relating to personality, including defamation, by way of alternative dispute resolution. In my opinion, this would be a significant move towards a more modern mediation-friendly justice culture."@en1
