WRITTEN QUESTION E-4033/03

by Maurizio Turco (NI) to the Commission

(12 January 2004)

Subject: Censoring of the word ‘condom’ in the Commission’s official press release to mark World Aids

Day at the request of Mr Prodi’s office

The 11-17 December 2003 edition of the weekly ‘European Voice’ published an article entitled ‘Prodi bans
condoms’, according to which the Commission’s press service was about to publish an official press release
to mark World Aids Day when a telephone call came from Mr Prodi’s office with orders to delete the word
‘condom’ from the statement.

In his answer of 10 December 2003 to written question E-3115/03 (1) the Commissioner Christopher
Patten said ‘On the basis of research conducted during the last 15 years and partly funded by the
Community, it can be claimed that condoms, when used properly, are an effective means of preventing
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission, with an efficacy close to 100 %’.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-4047/03

by Raffaele Costa (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(12 January 2004)

Subject: Safe use of the Internet

The programme for safe use of the Internet and new online technologies provided for a series of actions.
One of these actions aimed to promote a safe Internet environment via the creation of a network enabling
information to be received from the public regarding illegal content and information to be provided to
users with regard to that possibility. Can the Commission reveal which company or companies were
awarded this contract and the amounts allotted to them? Does the Commission plan to evaluate the results
obtained, the impact on the public and the level of publicity achieved?

Answer given by Mr Liikanen on behalf of the Commission

(24 February 2004)

Information about all projects funded by the Safer Internet Action Plan, including the funding per project
and the names of the beneficiaries, can be found on the Europa Web site at (http://europa.eu.int/iap).

Hotlines take reports from the public about illegal content on the Internet and pass them on to the
appropriate body (police, Internet Service Provider or another hotline).

The European network of hotlines consists of the umbrella body, the Inhope Association and 16 hotlines
in 14 countries which have received funding under Safer Internet,
together with associates in the
United Sates, Australia and South Korea.

They receive a steadily increasing number of reports from the public (91 656 reports over a six month
period of which 62 % related to child pornography), and have a number of notable successes in alerting
police thus enabling them to track down criminals.

Operation Marcy, in October 2003, was the result of a tip to the German police with the co-operation of
Spanish and German hotlines. It cracked one of the largest global child pornography networks involving
some 26,500 Internet users in 166 countries.

An evaluation of the Safer Internet Action Plan 1999-2002 by outside contractors has been communicated
to the Parliament with the Commission’s reaction (1). According to this report, European networking of the
hotlines was considered to be extremely important and, in terms of value for money, the hotlines are seen
to have been a good investment.

A further evaluation will take place at the end of 2004.
