lpv:translated text	"The Rome II Regulation lays down which law should apply to non-contractual obligations where more than one Member State is involved. This includes, for example, product liability or . Essentially, the regulation stipulates that the law that applies is either that of the State in which the damage occurs or that in which the person suffering damage habitually resides. Hitherto, however, Rome II has not applied to cases connected with the protection of privacy and the freedom of opinion. However, increased use of the Internet has given rise to numerous cross-border cases in precisely that area. Rome II does not, in essence, mean any harmonisation of the substantive law. The regulation contains conflict rules that make it possible to determine which law is to be applied. I would not be in favour of any substantive harmonisation, as the Member States often differ in the way they balance the legal rights to privacy and freedom of opinion. This balance must be respected, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity. I voted accordingly."@en1
