Uspesi• EU E-Commerce Directive – EuroISPA najviše doprinela da se

isključi odgovornost provajdera kada oni služe kao ‘puki prenosnici’ nelegalnog sadržaja

• Usko uključena u rasprave o odgovornosti za keširanje i hosting

• EU Copyright Directive - EuroISPA uspešno lobirala u odbranu keširanja

• Spam – pritisak iz EuroISPA ubedio je Evropsku komisiju da uključi dobrovoljno pristupanje u prvi nacrt nove direktive o zaštiti podakaka u telekomunikacijama (Telecoms Data Protection Directive)

• Cookies – EuroISPA je primila poziv od drugih velikih firmi da istupi pred Evropskim parlamentom na ovu temu

• COCOM – Posmatrač pri EU Communications Committee

Central EuropeIt is important for EuroISPA to have Central European ISPA

Members:

• To ensure that we are properly representing both current and future EU Member States

• To help accession countries avoid the problems we experienced in liberalisation

• To ensure that Central European ISPs have a strong voice in the EU

Part 2

Licensing

Page 14: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

14

Authorisation 2002/20/ECNew Directive aims to:

• Harmonise the approach to licencing and authorisation across all EU Member States

• Reduce bureaucracy - Under the old regime up to 18 different types of licence and up to 49 types of document required

• Reduce costs - excessive fees sometimes charged• “No objective justification for splitting up authorisations in

ever so many service categories”• Reduce barriers to the single market

Page 15: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

15

Authorisation (cont)New Directive:• Creates a single market by simplifying and harmonising

authorisation rules• Proposes general authorisations rather than specific ones• Charges for authorisations must only be as high as needed

to maintain the system• No decision required from administrative authorities -

undertakings only required to notify intention to provide services

• Companies may ask government for a declaration indicating that the company has interconnection and rights of way priveleges

Page 16: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

16

Any deviation away from the EU approach risks:

• Additional bureaucracy, delays and costs for ISPs• Creating barriers to cross-border trade• Creating a situation which will have to change again to

comply, if necessary, with the acquis communautaire• Not be “future proof” - convergence will open new business

opportunities and fragmented licencing regimes will close them again (for example, voice services)

Part 3

Illegal and Harmful Content

Page 18: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

Introduction

• Data protection: the obligations of ISPs• Law enforcement: the obligations of ISPs• The problem of the ISP ‘in the middle’• The legal framework to the rescue?• Conclusion: every option is the wrong one

Page 19: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

19

Data Protection• The protection of consumer’s private data

– is a legal and moral obligation of ISPs,

– is a prerequisite for keeping customers’ trust and staying in business.

• ISPs have every incentive to take every possible measure to

protect consumer’s personal data, however...

Page 20: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

20

Law enforcement

• ...ISPs also have moral and legal obligations to aid law enforcement in the combat and prevention of cybercrime.

• BUT: Law enforcement officials may consider data protection a secondary concern, and often make demands on ISPs that effectively assume data protection violations by the ISPs.

Page 21: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

21

The problem:

• ISPs’ responsibilities to the consumer (its clients)

• ISPs’ responsibilities to help fight cybercrime

CONFLICTING DEMANDS on ISPs: what to do?

Page 22: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

22

Answers from the legal framework ?• The legal environment in which ISPs find themselves with

respect to these two issues is VERY complex and, at times, arbitrary:– 95 Data Protection Directive

• Implementation– E-commerce Directive

• Implementation– New Communications Package (forthcoming)– National sets of laws, regulations UNCERTAIN LEGAL FRAMEWORK

Page 23: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

23

Conclusions• ISPs are stuck in a trap with the demands of consumers,

data protection authorities and reputation on the one hand…

• …and the demands of law enforcement officials on the other.

• The problem is compounded for ISPs operating in more than one Member State as data protection attitudes, laws and practices vary considerably from state to state.

Part 4

Law Enforcement Needs andRequirements

Page 25: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

25

Data RetentionMuch misunderstanding about the current situation• The new telecoms-specific directive does NOT IMPOSE

mandatory data retention• There is no harmonised system within the EU - Austria, for

example, has no retention and no plans for retention• The Danish and Belgian presidencies tried and failed to

move the subject forward in a harmonised way• The Cybercrime Convention only mandates data

preservation• EU ISPs prefer preservation as it is more targeted, less

intrusive, less costly

Page 26: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

26

Data Retention (2)• Belgium pushing a data retention law for almost two years• Denmark tried for “binding rules should be established on the

approximation of Member States' rules on the obligation of telecommunications services providers to keep information concerning telecommunications in order to ensure that such information is available when it is of significance for a criminal investigation”

• UK permanently pushing for EU mandatory data retention• Ireland plans to introduce mandatory data retention but does

not know what data, for how long or why the data should be kept.

Page 27: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

27

Data RetentionThere are numerous legal safeguards

European Convention on Human Rights - Article 8 (Right to respect for private and family life), Article 10 (Freedom of Expression

The Treaty on European Union - Article 6

The Danish Presidency Conclusions of December 2002 call for extensive discussion with industry before proceeding with any more extensive measures

However, Spain, Denmark and others already have data retention, although still don’t know what data, for how long or even why.

No coherence from countries regarding the costs of mandatory data retention

Page 28: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

28

Cybercrime ConventionWide-ranging, covering copyright, child pornography, interception, illegal access to equipment, etc•Requires expedited preservation of stored computer data•Expedited preservation and storage of traffic data•Interception of content data

BUT

"computer data" means any representation of facts, information or concepts in a form suitable for processing in a computer system, including a program suitable to cause a computer system to perform a function

"traffic data" means any computer data relating to a communication by means of a computer system, generated by a computer system that formed a part in the chain of communication, indicating the communication’s origin, destination, route, time, date, size, duration, or type of underlying service.

Page 29: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

29

Illegal ContentE-Commerce Directive crucial for establishing basic limits for

liability• Article 12 - Establishes the principle of “mere conduit”• Article 13 - Clarifies the situation for technical copies held on

ISP networks• Articles 14 - Limits liability for hosting providers• Article 15 - Removes the right for governments to require

“general” monitoring by ISPs• The Directive also, with some exceptions, establishes a

“country of origin” rule for electronic transactions.

Page 30: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

30

Illegal Content (2)Copyright Directive:• Permits temporary technical copying• Allows countries to establish exceptions to general

reproduction right for private copying• Gives rightsholders the right to file for injunctions to prevent

infringements• Was the subject of huge lobbying effort by rightsholders• After years of lobbying on the E-Commerce and Copyright

Directives…• New “Copyright Enforcement” Directive puts everything on

the line yet again

Page 31: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

31

Harmful Content• EuroISPA has been closely involved in ICRA - the Internet

Content Rating Association• National ISPAs have supported the setting up of national

hotlines for illegal material• EuroISPA has supported the setting up of INCORE - the

European hotlines network• EuroISPA has consistently argued for improving end-user

control as much as possible due to the practical and technical difficulties created by nationally-imposed filtering initiatives

Page 32: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

32

SPAM• EuroISPA lobbied for four years for an opt-in requirement in

EU law• This was finally achieved in May 2002 and comes into force

in October 2003• This is one of EuroISPA’s most significant achievements,

gained against lobbying from all other sectors of industry• Clear legal framework ensures that spammers suffer and not

ISPs.• Current situation means that it is not clear who is a spammer

and consumers lose confidence in e-commerce

Page 33: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

33

Access & InterconnectionGoverned by the new regulatory framework which governs…

• Access and Interconnection• Universal Service• Data Protection• Radio Spectrum• Authorisation• Local Loop Unbundling

Page 34: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

34

Access & InterconnectionThe new framework…• establishes a harmonised framework for regulation of electronic

communications networks and services• sets basic requirements for national regulatory authorities• establishes policy objectives and principles for NRAs• sets rules for facilities sharing and collocation• defines a new concept of “significant market power” (hugely

contentious - a Commission Recommendation 12 Feb tries to clarify this.

• EuroISPA fought hard and succesfully to have key ISP markets (call termination, wholesale bitstream, etc) included in the recommendation

• creates the EU Communications Committee

Page 35: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

35

Access & Interconnection (2)• Access & Interconnection now generally governed by

competition law• New Directive establishes specific ex ante regulations for

bodies with “significant market power”• NRAs must establish which markets need to be regulated

under the new framework• Commission producing Recommendation shortly as guidance

for NRAs• EuroISPA has been very active in ensuring that key ISP

interests such as bitstream access are included in the Recommendation

Page 36: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

36

Part 5

National Regulatory Authorities

Page 37: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

37

National Regulatory Authorities• Member States should guarntee the independence of the

national regulatory authority or authorities (rec 12 Framework)• NRAs must use their powers impartially and transparently• NRAs and competition authorities should share information• Should ensure there is no restriction or distortion of competiton• Encourage efficient use of numbering resources• Should work towards improving the functioning of the single

market• Promote the interests of consumers such as through universal

service obligations

Page 38: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

38

National Regulatory Authorities (2)

In practice, regulators have been hampered by a number of factors:

• Lack of independence (Belgium)• Lack of political will (Ireland)• Too much pressure to justify itself (UK)• Difficult legal situation (Germany)• Generally, appeals procedures which are long and expensive make NRAs’ tasks much more difficult

Page 39: 1 ISP Seminar Beograd 19. februar Joe McNamee sekretarijat EuroISPA

39

Summary• Huge range of issues need to be addressed for ISPs• Illegal and harmful content, data protection, universal

service, access/interconnection, etc• Huge lobbying forces exist which wish to increase ISP

liability and obligations and reduce their rights• Concerted action by ISPs at a national and international level

is essential to ensure a dynamic and successful ISP market
