European Council an Cross Border Internet

An expert hearing on 8 - 9 October in Strasbourg, at which Prof. Michael Rotert, eco chairman and EuroISPA vice president, was present, kicked off the work of the ad hoc advisory board on cross-border Internet (MC-S-CI). A point of agreement was that measures relating to the Internet in one country have the potential to affect other countries.

Such measures could include filtering of content, monitoring of user activity, or access blocking. Given that the Internet is a global resource of the highest importance, it was agreed that the board should examine precisely these cross-border problems, and help find solutions that balance the interests of individual countries with the transnational responsibilities shared by all.
