[governance] FOURTH DRAFT statement on enhanced cooperation

[Katitza Rodriguez]

Miguel

Can you share with us the arguments why the national level was 
intentionally left out of the international mechanism? Pls.  I would 
like to see emphasis also to the national and regional level. EC should 
be done at the national, regional, and international level. Not all 
Treaties conventions are good, and our countries should not sign or 
follow those recommendation if its affects their own citizens at the 
national or regional level. For example, it is dangerous to see the 
Budapest Convention exported to other countries, as it has serious 
implications for citizen's fundamental rights.  Despite the serious 
concerns that the Budapest Convention / Council of Europe itself 
contain, the harm to third countries outside Europe, for instance, Latin 
America is dangerous.  While the EU for instance has the Ecommerce 
Directive, The Data Protection Directive, the E-Privacy Directive, 
Charter of Fundamental Rights, and other check and balance in place etc, 
many countries lack of these regulatory frameworks.

I know, it can be worst with the ITU (and the end of anonymity). Please
