The main spending items will be contracts allocated after a call for proposals. These will normally be contracts running for a period of two or three years. Projects fully financed by the Commission within the framework of study and services contracts will be implemented through calls for tenders in accordance with the financial provisions. All projects must be transnational in scope and include cooperation between independent organisations established in different EEA countries. Participation may be open to entities in third countries on the conditions set out in the technical background document.
Internet is a positive instrument .
Whilst aiming at a high level of protection, any action taken to deal with atypical use for illegal and harmful content should not have a disproportionate impact on Internet users and industry as a whole. Information on the Internet should be allowed the same free flow as paper-based information . Any restrictions should respect fundamental rights such as freedom of expression and the right to privacy. Industry has a responsibility to remove illegal content from their systems, and can be assisted by self-regulatory bodies. Users should also be able to report illegal content to hot-lines.
