The week in parliament In recent weeks, is again a lot has happened here. Therefore, this time equal to a number of topics in a journal.
surprised us earlier this week a message from Munich:
"data scandal in elected office" - obviously we have thousands of addresses of postal voters, including a number celebrities through misconduct in Elected office come to an address dealer. This is not a trifle! Such a violation of privacy is inexcusable. The Munich city hall as soon as possible FDP has requested clarification. I will stay tuned in the topic and keep you informed.
met on Monday, the Study Internet and digital society at its first regular session. First, we had agreed that we want to understand the issue of network neutrality in more detail. This, however, represents only a first approximation to the subject because we have also set up a parallel project group on the topic. In this project group, I will defend with our three experts from the FDP group.
In We have also launched two other project groups to life. My colleague, Sebastian Blumenthal will address the issue copyrights and intellectual property, while Manuel Höferlin chaired the project group has taken over privacy. This can finally begin the substantive work of the Study. is the complete discussion of network neutrality as a video
here. I speak from minute 14:28.
All major meetings of the Internet Study days - against the practice in parliamentary committee meetings - publicly. The public inquiry was of a claim that I took from the start of the round coordinators. In the New Media sub-committee, this practice has been proven. The project groups meet on the other hand not public. This was decided in the round for the Study coordinators overwhelmingly. According to the unanimous opinion, we also need to retreat to think out loud, they want to address something open. A never offers among themselves, meeting project group no room for thinking and learning processes, because this would always addressing the audience, but not the object in the foreground. We'll see if this is the best solution Sun
In the area of Internet censorship is now finally some movement in the discussion. There is a date for the hearing fixed in the legal committee. This will take place on 10/11/2010. In the run up to a whole series held discussions on a national and international level. On Monday I will meet with EU Commissioner for Home Affairs, Cecilia Malmström. On Tuesday we will visit the BKA at the various options discussed. So it's forward at last. I ask, however, especially in this highly emotional topic for your patience.
