[Chapter-delegates] [European-chapters] European Digital Agenda

[Veni Markovski]

Thanks, Frederic.

I am a little bit startled by your statement

"In addressing the issue of cyber security, we would encourage the 
European Commission and European member states to focus primarily on 
enforcing laws that already exist in the non-digital world rather than 
focusing on creating new legal systems that only address criminal 
behaviour in cyberspace. European policymakers and governments should 
also work with the Internet community to ensure that users have the 
information and skills they need to use the Internet safely and within 
the law,"

I can speak as a lawyer, and one of the co-authors of the Computer 
Crimes chapter in the Bulgarian Penal Code, and a firm believer that 
cybercrime needs to be addressed in special way. I would like to see how 
ISOC believes that the new digital crimes can be dealt with via the old 
analog laws - more details from you would be appreciated.

I will write later more on the Digital Agenda, but I see other serious 
issues, which are not addressed correctly,  besides  cybersecurity - 
copyright, and broadband access.


Best,
Veni
