8.1. Internetna povezljivost za rast, konkurenčnost in kohezijo: evropska gigabitna družba in 5G (A8-0184/2017 - Michał Boni)

Explications de vote orales

  Michela Giuffrida (S&D). – Ho votato a favore di questa relazione perché individua razionalmente i vantaggi del progresso del mondo digitale. Si parla di istruzione, di sanità, di industria. Tutto vero, ma non possiamo guardare al futuro senza considerare la realtà del presente.

Un'Europa a 5G oggi sembra quasi un film di fantascienza. In Europa il divario digitale esistente tra regioni, in particolare tra zone rurali e urbane, è ancora notevole. Dobbiamo partire dalla consapevolezza che è improbabile che le zone rurali, così come quelle montane o insulari, godano degli stessi vantaggi derivanti dalla società dei gigabit che sono avvertiti nelle città o nelle regioni centrali. Basti pensare alla banda larga, che ancora non è una realtà omogenea in tutta Europa. Il pericolo è che il 5G aumenti questo divario tra regioni emarginando quelle periferiche e quelle più deboli.

Perché allora non iniziare ad investire proprio in queste regioni meno sviluppate? La proposta è provocatoria, naturalmente, ma forse potrebbe essere il giusto stimolo per un progresso necessario verso una società del 5G che non può lasciare nessuno indietro.

  Daniel Hannan (ECR). – Madam President, the telecommunications revolution has improved people’s lives in a way that no legislation from this or any other chamber can begin to approach. There has been an absolute transformation of the human condition, particularly in developing countries, and it is something almost wholly unforeseen by politicians.

What’s been the response of the European Commission? I can’t help noticing that there have been an awful lot of legal actions in the last five years against US-based tech firms, perhaps in pursuit of what Commissioner Oettinger calls ‘digital independence’ for the EU. Microsoft, Google, Apple – they’ve all been on the receiving end of it. Of course there aren’t really European equivalents to these firms, and perhaps the reason for that is because of the regulatory regime that we’ve created here. It may be no coincidence that since the Brexit vote we’ve seen Google and Apple, and most recently Snapchat, relocating to London in full knowledge that Britain is leaving the European Union. Perhaps it’s precisely because of what they know about the EU’s regulatory environment that they’re shifting.

  Petras Auštrevičius (ALDE). – Madam President, I voted in favour of this excellent and innovative report. The 5G network presents our societies and the European Union’s industry with new and great digital possibilities by enabling new connectivity opportunities via both high-quality and high-capacity networks.

In addition, I fully agree with the idea expressed in the report that in order to seize these opportunities we need to ensure that the necessary conditions to develop 5G infrastructure are in place by 2020-25 and, I hope, much earlier, namely: a transparent, competitive and investment-friendly regulatory framework, and a willingness from EU Member States to create a much-needed common network of operability at the EU level.

  Момчил Неков (S&D). – Г-жо Председател, твърдо подкрепям амбициозния пран на Европейската комисия за осигуряване на свръхбърз интернет в началните и средните училища, университетите и библиотеките от 2025 година. Вярвам, че това ще подобри начина, по който учениците и студентите усвояват учебния материал, както и методите на преподаване.

Намирам за притеснителна, обаче, огромната разлика между държавите в Европейския съюз по отношение на достъпа до високоскоростен интернет. Още по-тежка е ситуацията в селските и отдалечените райони, където масово няма 3G и 4G. Това още повече задълбочава пропастта между града и селото.

За съжаление България отново е в дъното на класацията по навлизане на цифровите технологии. Едва 55% от българските домакинства са абонирани за фиксирана широколентова връзка. На фона на тази статистика изглежда абсурдно, че приоритет на г-н Борисов е създаването на електронно правителство, докато в същото време само 31% от българите имат основни дигитални умения.

  Bogdan Andrzej Zdrojewski (PPE). – 100MB/s to dla wszystkich konsumentów pewne minimum. 1 do 100GB/s dla wielkich przedsiębiorstw finansowych, przemysłu, środków transportu, instytucji transportowych to właściwie w tej chwili norma. Chcę natomiast zwrócić uwagę na jedną rzecz: przyspieszając rozwój wszystkich elementów jakościowych rynku cyfrowego, doprowadzamy z drugiej strony do bardzo poważnej sytuacji luki kompetencyjnej w zakresie cyfrowym, czyli pewnych wykluczeń cyfrowych. I przy tej okazji pragnę podkreślić konieczność zadań edukacyjnych, zwłaszcza w szkołach, po to, aby te wykluczenia na rynku cyfrowym ograniczać.

  Andrejs Mamikins (S&D). – Madam President, I was in favour because 5G will be the next key building block of our future society. The Commission’s action plan, aimed at making the EU a world leader in the deployment of standardised 5G networks from 2020-25, is rather ambitious. Our task is to ensure that this ambitious plan will be fulfilled. To reach that aim the Commission, the Member States and the European Parliament should coherently fulfil their parts of the common task. The Commission should ensure long-term financing for the 5G action plan and network modernisation; Member States should implement the 5G action plan in regions and cities, and implement measures for a high common level of security of network and information systems across the Union. We should step up efforts on standardisation and adopt effective measures to fight piracy. The direction is right, ambitions are high, so we should go forward and not repeat previous mistakes.

  Stanislav Polčák (PPE). – Paní předsedající, já jsem rovněž hlasoval pro, protože považuji přístup k internetu za absolutně klíčovou agendu ve všech praktických politikách Evropské unie, a chtěl bych poukázat na to, že právě přístup k internetu nejenže zlepšil kvalitu života, ale je vlastně podmínkou k elektronizaci veřejné zprávy. A už tady zaznělo od kolegy Nekova, já pokládám za velmi důležité, aby se nerozevíraly dále nůžky mezi venkovem a těmi centrálními oblastmi.

Je předpoklad, že 70 % evropské populace bude do dvaceti let žít v největších evropských aglomeracích, a pokud někde na venkově dnes řeknete, že třeba nemají ani přístup ke 3G, tak hovoříme-li dnes o přístupu k 5G provozní rychlosti, tak se vlastně bavíme jakoby o výletu na Mars. Je důležité, aby se tyto nůžky dále nerozevíraly a abychom se soustředili na to, aby lidé zůstávali i na venkově. K tomu je přístup k internetu velmi klíčový.

  Jiří Pospíšil (PPE). – Paní předsedající, já jsem také podpořil tuto zprávu. Považuji za velmi důležité, aby Evropská unie řešila otázku přístupu k vysokorychlostnímu internetu.

Ostatně vůbec téma digitalizace společnosti je jedno z klíčových témat Evropské unie a je to klíčové téma i tohoto období Evropského parlamentu. Ostatně jsem také podpořil další zprávu, která se týká digitalizace společnosti, a to je digitalizace evropského průmyslu, o které jsme také dnes hlasovali.

Kolegové tady už dnes vysvětlili a i v rámci rozpravy bylo vysvětleno, proč je toto téma důležité. Pokud chceme zachovat to, aby Evropská unie, evropské země byly lídry světových technologií a světového průmyslu, pak bez digitální revoluce se neobejdeme. Proto všechny tyto návrhy podporuji, bude třeba, aby Evropská komise řešila míru investic do těchto technologií, protože v Evropě investujeme pouze třetinu oproti Spojeným státům americkým do moderních digitálních technologií. Je třeba více peněz, nejen obecně pouze o tom hovořit.

  Seán Kelly (PPE). – Madam President, I have always advocated strongly for initiatives that support the growth and spread of high-speed connectivity throughout all of Europe. In recent years I’ve observed its true potential being realised by Irish and European citizens alike. The implementation of faster and higher-quality connectivity for all Europeans can act as a vital vehicle of improvement in the areas of economic growth and employment for all areas of European society. This report will pay a key role in the advancement of Europe’s Digital Agenda and will allow us to maintain our position at the forefront of global innovation and investment by becoming a 5G and gigabit society.

Dá bhrí sin, mar fhocal scoir, ba mhaith liom mo chomhghleacaí Michał Boni a mholadh as ucht an togha oibre agus na huaireanta go léir a thug sé chun na moltaí seo a chur os ár gcomhair. Tiocfaidh maitheas as a chuid oibre amach anseo do chuile dhuine san Aontas.
