EU Kommission plant Schmutzkampagne 
 
Der letzte Satz in dieser Newsbytes/Meldung über die Plänbe zur Content kontrolle in der EU, ist wie 
so oft der wichtigste: Dass die Pläne gegen Schmutz & Schund im Internet stets in

EC Funds Plan To Clean Smut From Internet 05/20/98 
BRUSSELS, BELGIUM, 1998 MAY 20 (NB) -- By Sylvia Dennis, Newsbytes. 
European Commission (EC) ministers yesterday announced plans to fund a 
rolling, four-year campaign to reduce the amount of smut on the 
Internet. 
 
The plans still require the formal approval of the EC Parliament, but 
Newsbytes understands this is almost certain to be given. Pending this 
approval, the EC has earmarked 25 million ECUs (European Currency 
Units) ($27.5 million) for the first two years of the project, after 
which budgets will be reassessed, 
 
The action plan will be twin pronged, Newsbytes notes, with one side 
 
 
actively promoting the safe use of the Internet, giving parents 
guidelines of allowing their kids to only use certain sections of the 
Net, and encouraging self-regulation by the European industry, backed 
up by the second prong, content regulation authorities. 
 
These content regulation authorities, Newsbytes understands, will 
liaise with the police and other European authorities, to ensure that 
any transgressions of the guidelines are dealt with appropriately, 
although, initially, it is hoped the industry will regulate itself. 
 
The plan also calls for the creation of Internet approval systems, 
allowing Web site editors to give their pages a specific approval 
rating, in a manner similar to the film industry with its approvals 
mechanism. 
 
Backing up the whole system will be the creation of a series of 
European hotlines and Web sites for Net users to report those pages 
they consider to be illegal.
