Positions
Thanks to improve this part with opinions from Judith SARGENTINI about La Quadrature du Net concerned issues (see page Help:Political_Memory to know how to do it).

28/03/2010 Written Declaration 12/2010 (ACTA)
Has signed written declaration 12/2010 on the lack of a transparent process for the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) and potentially objectionable content.

24/11/2011 SABAM vs Scarlet
"“This ruling is an important landmark for efforts to guarantee a free and open internet in Europe. Net neutrality and openness are fundamental principles on which the internet has been founded and any moves to restrict this represent a violation of the freedom of expression, as well as undermining EU law. Instead of moving to restrict internet freedom, we should instead recognise the overwhelmingly positive opportunities presented by an open internet."

"'This ruling also deals an indirect blow to the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) and moves to restrict internet freedoms under the agreement. The Greens have long argued that ACTA undermines basic EU rights and believe it should be referred to the ECJ for a legal opinion before its ratification. This ruling is indicative in this regard.'"
