[Terminé] Final debate on the Telecoms Pack

Pour info, je persiste et signe en affirmant que Christian ENGSTRÖM a vraiment manqué de fermeté par rapport à l'amendement 138 et au Paquet Telecom dans son ensemble. Cela dit, comme vous pourrez le lire ci dessous, il y a un message fort adressé à notre endroit.

Today the European Parliament held the final debate on the Telecoms Package. It will be voted in plenary tomorrow (and will be adopted then).
I got to hold a speech for two minutes in the debate. This is what I said:
We in the Swedish Pirate Party support the compromise that was reached on the Telecoms Package.
It is not perfect, and it is not everything we wanted. But it is a good step in the right direction.
Nobody should be shut off from the internet, at least not without a prior fair and impartial procedure, that includes the right to be heard and respects the principle that you are innocent until proven guilty.
The compromise sends a strong signal to the member states that legislation like the French Hadopi law or the Mandelson measures in the UK are not acceptable. It is now up to activists in France, the UK and other member states to make sure that their governments respect this on the national level.
For us in the European Parliament, this was just the beginning.
We need a proper Bill of Rights for the Internet, that makes it absolutely clear that the Internet is an important part of society, where our fundamental civil liberties must be respected.
This includes the right to information freedom and the right to privacy, as specified in the European Convention of Fundamental Rights.
We need net neutrality, and we need a policy that says yes to the fantastic possibilities of the Internet and the new information technology.
Europe has a unique opportunity to show leadership and set an example in the world for a free and open Internet. This is a chance we should take.
The road ahead is open.
This compromise is on a first step, but it is a step in the right direction. I encourage all colleagues to support it.
