[governance] EU Parliment Principles

[Eric Dierker]

Is there anything not to agree with here?  Good Law Schools have some courses and spend some time on a subjet usually called "Conflicts of Laws" or some such thing.  Philosophers have been dealing with conflicts of fundamental truths for years. Raw scientists basically reject a new law when in conflict with another existing law.  Lincoln believed strongly that no natural manmade law could conflict with immutable inherint law.  Ho Chi Minh adopted "the Declaration of Independence" as did Juarez as Law not to be contravened.
 
So what is the EU to do with these glaring blatant attempts to please everyone?
 
Will they as we predict, foresake individual rights for the preservation of the political status quo?  Will freedom of competition mean as so often Corporate and IP rights over free speech and liberty of non-commercial interests?
 
 
–guaranteeing plural and non-discriminatory access to the Internet,
–defending the European view on Internet neutrality,
–aspects connected with security in the face of threats or attacks,
–protection of citizens’ right to privacy and resolution of questions as to who has jurisdiction and which law is applicable in deciding where cases are heard (given that the Rome II agreement expressly excludes non-contractual conflicts connected with the right to privacy),
–protection of intellectual property rights and guarantees regarding access to users’ culture,
–guaranteeing free competition,
–combating crime and, specifically, protection of minors’ rights.
