Subject: "Democracy, freedom and the Internet" Conference

Dear friend,

On the 10th of July, from 9hr to 18hr, a public conference will take place
at the European Parliament in Brussels on "Democracy, freedom and the
Internet: how digital technologies empower or undermine civil liberties".

The seminar - that is the second meeting on new technologies organised by
Radical MEPs of the Lista Bonino together with the Transnational Radical
Party- is open to everybody. Due to the limited number of places in the
conference room, we please you to announce your participation as soon as
possible, and in any case before the 5th of July.

The following issues will be dealt:

+ Data retention: citizens' right to privacy and State powers in treating
personal data;

+ Cybercrime: the borderline between criminality and civil disobedience in
the Net;

+ e-democracy: from "pilot project" to "fundamental right"; Interventions
will concentrate not only on the European Union context,
but also on national or local experiences concerning the above mentioned
issues. The peculiar situation of non democratic States and the role of
companies will be analysed too.

Further to inviting you to the conference, we would ask you to tell us
as soon as possible if you are interested in proposing a speech (title and
brief abstract), so to prepare the agenda and the sending of preparatory
documents. Please do not hesitate in suggesting us more people that shall
be invited.

Sincerely,

Marco Cappato                           Ottavio Marzocchi
Gianluca Eramo
MEP, President of the                   Member of Transnational
Project co-ordinator
Transnational Radical Party             Radical Party board
