Mr. PRESIDENT: Thank you, Madam Minister.

Mr. Childer BARBER: Thank you, Mr. President.
Madam Minister, you just said in Parliament a lie, and fat. Shortly before to be appointed Minister in early 2008 made you a statement reminiscent of his time in the world of cinema in which it categorically said that what it wanted as many megabytes or gigabytes, whether to send emails or downloading pirated files. Remember him?
Then a month ago, the November 5, 2009, addressed the issue of internet downloads, and the minister said that currently there is a ministerial committee that is studying the matter, but advanced no legally punish the user. Another lie, and fat.
acknowledged, however, was in favor of limiting the speed of Internet connection. Another lie, and fat. Assumed the complexity and the need to marry the right to information with intellectual property, and not only there to protect the rights of the author, but also the right to privacy and confidentiality of communications.
You said that the commission presented its work on December 10 and had not pursue advanced users, but the Hub: the web hosting and related files P2P. The Ministry of Culture, headed by you, said the only measure that could be taken was to reduce the speed. That's what you said a month ago, but today we find that 72 hours ago has submitted a draft law, sustainable economy, and its Government has introduced the ability to interrupt those who download Internet P2P file-another lie, and good fat.
Why should this change of attitude? The truth is that you have taken a bizarre, because slow is an outrage, but cut the Internet, what is? Something more serious than a violation: a severe restriction on freedom in the network. Many wonder: if you slow down, what difference is there with you cut the connection?
-almost zero because the velocity is the same as you cut the connection. And that's the only truth of his last three years, three years that have done work in the letter small, by the back door, in a final disposition of a bill, the law of the sustainable economy, "the court internet users. Say so clearly today, in Parliament, no lies and no other subterfuge.
gives us the impression that three years you have been dizzy partridge, with lies and fat. Allow yourself to slow, arbitrary cuts to Internet users ...
Mr. PRESIDENT: My Lord, finish, please.
Mr. Childer BARBER: ... and boost the information society. Stop acting at the dictation of management institutions, but above all do not forget-you writer-that is more internet-is an issue that is there, "more downloads, and that reality does not change neither a law nor a government untenable as to which you belong. Thank
. (Applause on the benches of the PP parliamentary group in the Senate.)
Mr. PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Boy.
call on the Minister of Culture.
the Minister of Culture (Gonzalez-Sinde Reig): Thank you, Chairman.
Honor, I will explain clearly what we are doing.
Our model does not criminalize the Internet, our goal is to deepen and protect rights. The transmission of content via the Internet through the use of broadband expands opportunities for citizens, and its extension as universal service to all the English minimum speeds of a mega per second has been anunciadapor my colleague Minister of Industry for 2011 .
parliamentary group calls faster. Well, the fact is that you do when you move very slowly, because the development of network access must be accompanied by a stimulus to promote development in Spain of a range of advanced digital content. We therefore support the development of a digital offering legal, safe, competitive and quality, so you can connect two rights: first, access the culture of citizens and, second, the right to protection efforts of the workers and all people related to culture.
There is a high rate of violation of intellectual property rights and the Government and the Ministry of Culture as well, with the creation of the work iterministerial on the fight against the violation of property rights through websites, has worked to promote measures to prevent speculators have the rights of English artists. The interministerial committee was created only last 53 days, with the mandate to draft conclusions before 2010.
We have been fast already presented the first measures adopted at the Council of Ministers last Friday, being included in the draft bill on sustainable economy and to summarize in four points.
One, or will not criminalize users are going to cut a single Internet connection, two, one will act against those who appropriate and exploit the works of others, the rights of others, three, compatibility with the requirements of European Parliament, resulting in an administrative proceeding with full guarantees and four, the body designated to carry out this work is the Intellectual Property Commission, a body composed of independent experts.
ladies and gentlemen, a big step, because these measures not only are we moving towards a sustainable production model, but also promote the knowledge and, above all, citizenship, because it will speed the decline of what motivates a surfer to respect creators and workers linked to culture, is the rise of civility, which is also the only way to get to truly appreciate the value and culture.
Mr. PRESIDENT: My Lord, please complete.
the Minister of Culture (Gonzalez-Sinde Reig): Thank you, Your Honor. (Applause.)
Mr. PRESIDENT: Thank you, Madam Minister.
