[governance] Meeting with EC/EP: short report

Mon Nov 12 07:12:59 EST 2012

Parminder and Marie Georges,

The meeting was organized as a round table where everyone take the floor for a short time to express him/herself. All was about the internet governance but we didn’t take a specific item, and discussed it. 

As for the “Intermediate international standards”, they were presented as a third layer between the international general principles and the national laws. They described it to be more simplified and more acceptable for all the countries so that they may be applied by all at the national level. My reaction to this concept was that I find it is a good idea to elaborate more simple and more precise standards, but I don’t think it will be a third layer; the so-called “intermediate standards” can only be the same layer as the international general principles since they will be international agreements, and their use at the national level will still depend on the willing of the governments.

Dear all,

Sorry for the late report: No Internet access in the meeting rooms.

The European parliamentarians expressed their support to all those issues, and introduced a concept of intermediate international standards accepted by all and easily applicable, to be between the international general principals such as the human rights declaration and the national laws. 

Very interested to know what kind of international standards they were referring to that fall in between " general principals such as the human rights declaration and the national laws". Can someone throw some light on the nuances involved here.
