RSVP to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2002 16:02:05 +0200 From: Marco Cappato <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Gianluca Eramo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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 For further enquiries, information and to announce your participation: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: 0032 2 2847496, Fax 0032 2 2849496 *** Please send submissions to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** *** To subscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** *** Message body: SUB DO-WIRE *** *** To unsubscribe instead, write: UNSUB DO-WIRE *** *** Please forward this post to others and encourage *** *** them to subscribe to the free DO-WIRE service. ***
