Internet: multiannual action plan on promoting safer use

Of the 4 amendments adopted by the European Parliament at second reading, the Commission accepted all in full. These pertain to: - the four-year time period for the Action plan to be from 1/1/99 to 31/12/2002 rather than 1/1/98 to 31/12/2001 ; - establishing a system of "Quality Site Labels" for Internet Service Providers to assist users in identifying providers that adhere to Codes of Conduct ; - giving priority to electronic distribution, without prjudice to using the most cost-effective means of distributing awareness-raising information ; - allowing the possibility of providing more specific information on buying network-accessing software, or by Internet access providers to new subscribers.�
