"I voted in favour of the recommendations to the Commission on the amendment of Regulation (EC) No 864/2007 on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations (Rome II). I think that legal remedies must be available when people’s freedom is abused, particularly when it is detrimental to their privacy and reputation. Every Member State must ensure that these remedies are available and effective in the event of infringement of these rights. The Rome II Regulation lacks a provision for determining the law applicable to violations of privacy and rights relating to personality. Therefore, we call on the Commission to submit a proposal designed to add to the Rome II Regulation a provision for determining the law applicable to non-contractual obligations arising out of violations of privacy and rights relating to personality, including defamation. In order to promote the public benefit gained from reducing the amount of litigation, improving access to justice, ensuring the proper functioning of the internal market and striking an appropriate balance between freedom of expression and the right to privacy, the Commission should propose the creation of a centre for the amicable settlement of cross-border disputes arising out of the violation of the right to privacy and rights relating to personality, including defamation, by means of alternative dispute resolution."@en1
