Amendment 4 Morten Helveg Petersen ALDE Recital 7
(7) The convergence of the telecommunications, media and information technology sectors means that all electronic communications networks and services should be covered to the extent possible by a single European Electronic Communications Code established by a single Directive, with the exception of matters better dealt with through directly applicable rules established through regulations. It is necessary to separate the regulation of electronic communications networks and services from the regulation of content. This Code does not therefore cover the content of services delivered over electronic communications networks using electronic communications services, such as broadcasting content, financial services and certain information society services, and is therefore without prejudice to measures taken at Union or national level in respect of such services, in compliance with Union law, in order to promote cultural and linguistic diversity and to ensure the defence of media pluralism. The content of television programmes is covered by Directive 2010/13/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council21 . The regulation of audiovisual policy and content aims at achieving general interest objectives, such as freedom of expression, media pluralism, impartiality, cultural and linguistic diversity, social inclusion, consumer protection and the protection of minors. The separation between the regulation of electronic communications and the regulation of content does not prejudice the taking into account of the links existing between them, in particular in order to guarantee media pluralism, cultural diversity and consumer protection.

Justification: In accordance with rule 104 of the rules of procedure, this amendment is necessary for pressing reasons related to the internal logic of the text as well as the coherence with other related legislative instruments, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation and the proposal for a regulation on ePrivacy.

Amendment 8 +

Amendment 8 Morten Helveg Petersen ALDE Recital 91 a (new)
	(91a) In order to ensure a safeguard to the security and integrity of networks and services, the use of end-to-end encryption should be promoted and, where necessary, be mandatory in accordance with the principles of data protection by design and privacy by design; in particular, Member States should not impose any obligation to encryption providers, providers of electronic communications services and all other organisations (at all levels of the supply chain) that would result in the weakening of the security of their networks and services, such as the allowing or facilitation of "backdoors";
Justification: In line with the European Parliament resolution of 14th March 2016 on fundamental rights implications of big data: privacy, data protection, non-discrimination, security and law-enforcement.
