COD/2007/0248 - Harbour report (network user's rights, privacy, consumer protection, ...)
Remark: as you can see on this screenshot (taken on Sep. 23 2008, 14:09), amendments 158 and 166 to Harbour report are not accessible on the European Parliament website, although they are included on the official voting list published by tabling office. We have managed to get a paper copy of amendment 166 and recommend to support it, but content of amendment 158 is still unknown, therefore we advise to reject it by precautionary principle. Update 17:41: both amendments have now been published, it is about security and introduce DRM to render personal data unintelligible,in the event of accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration or unauthorized disclosure of or access to personal data. We still recommend to vote against amendment 158, and for amendment 166.
