Der er ingen, der benægter den rolle, kommunikationsmidlerne og bl.a. Internettet har for vores samfunds fremtidige udvikling, det forspring, som medlemsstaterne i øjeblikket giver USA på dette område, eller behovet for at lovgive om den potentielt anarkistiske udvikling af disse midler, således at man begrænser de problemer, som de kan medføre, og sikrer dem den størst mulige succes hos vores befolkninger.
Indeed no one will deny that means of communication, and in particular the Internet, are most important to the future development of our societies, or that the EU Member States are currently trailing behind the United States in this respect, or that we need to legislate to control the potentially anarchic development of these means in order to limit the excesses to which they can give rise and ensure that they are as successful as possible for our people.
