Electronic Communications (Privacy)

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport, what discussions he has had with his EU counterparts on the EU directive on privacy and electronic communications; and if he will make a statement.
Answer

We are very good Europeans on the Government Benches and we are one of the first countries to have implemented the e-privacy directive. Naturally, we are engaged in ongoing discussions with our EU colleagues. Several member states, including France and Germany, have had discussions with us about the best way to implement it.
