A recent draft report on a new digital agenda for Europe, presented inside the EP's Committee on Industry, Research and Energy, brings into debate the idea of a Charter of consumers' rights in the digital environment.
From the draft report:
When there is no sufficient confidence in a legal framework, citizens refrain from interacting, expressing freely their opinions and entering into transactions. Only through properly empowered and informed citizens will Europe unlock the full social and economic potential of the new online environment.
Citizens should be made aware of the privacy impact of their behaviour in an online context, and should be afforded the right to require the removal of personal data even when the data was initially collected with the consent of the data subject. The fight against cybercrime is another significant challenge. The effective enforcement of EU legislation in this field is often obstructed by cross-border legal issues, such as competent jurisdiction or applicable law.
Policy goals:
· All citizens should be aware of their basic digital rights.
· All users should have control of their own data ('right to be forgotten').
Policy actions:
· Charter of citizens’ and consumers’ rights in the digital environment by 2012.
