I urge MEPs to consider the following amendments and their implication and work to have them removed from the telecoms package.
- An amendment (under Annex 1.19) which would oblige ISPs to 'co-operate' with other parties to enforce copyright.
- Amendments (under the provisions of Article 260 and Article 21 of the revised Universal Access Directive and their supporting Recitals – 12c, and 14) which would oblige ISPs to include a clause or clauses in their contracts with their end-user customers relating to copyright matters and regularly be required to distribute "public interest information" to users including details about "the most common uses of electronic communications services to carry out unlawful activities or to disseminate harmful content. "
- A requirement (Culture committee - Guardans - Opinion, Amendment 19) on the national telecoms regulator to protect copyright. for "co-operation" between ISPs and rights-holders (Article 33, 2a of the Universal Access directive, and Article 1, point 8 point e of the Framework directive).
