• 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.

promotion of lawful content on electronic communications services and
networks".
