• Amendment 122, Dominique Vlasto, Ivo Belet: Recital 15 a (new)

(15a) Member States should encourage
stakeholders to enter into cooperation
arrangements to enable online services to
run smoothly and to make for a high level
of user confidence. In particular,
electronic communications network
and/or service providers and other
stakeholders should be encouraged to
work together to promote lawful content
and protect content online. Cooperation
of this kind, extending beyond the
regulatory framework without
undermining it, could take the practical
form of, for example, codes of conduct
drawn up by, after being negotiated and
approved among, the parties concerned.
Such codes are already provided for in
principle in many Community
instruments, including for instance the
Directive on electronic commerce
(Directive 2000/31/EC, Article 16), the
Directive on the enforcement of
intellectual property rights
(Directive 2004/48/EC, Article 17), and
the Directive on the protection of personal
data (Directive 95/46/EC, Article 27).
Cooperation among stakeholders along
such lines is essential in order to promote
online content, and European cultural
content in particular, and to unleash the
potential of the information society.

services and networks".
