"In the past, few people had the opportunity to use the traditional media as a means of expression. Today, technological development and the resultant boom in Internet use have given rise to new ways of infringing personality rights. Statements verging on, and often overstepping, the limits of freedom of expression have multiplied in the electronic media. Defamations have become an international issue. Unfortunately, when the regulation concerning non-contractual obligations (Rome II) was adopted, the protection of personality rights was excluded from its scope. I believe that in order to ensure transparency and predictability, conflict of law norms pertaining to delict law should be consolidated. Although Member States have the right to establish the balance between the various fundamental rights at their own discretion, it is high time that in the interest of legal certainty, we make it clear, at Community level as well, what laws are applicable to liabilities for damages arising from privacy and personality rights’ infringements."@en1
