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

[Rudi Vansnick]

I agree with Veni. Some activities have no relation to analog world and need specific legislation. Being involved in Belgium in the online gambling law we discovered by using existing analog law the implementation based on the analog would completely fail. I would propose we create a specific workgroup to go in debt on this subject and eventually elaborate a list of recommendations based on national (memberstate) level.

Best regards,

Rudi Vansnick

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 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.
