Question for written answer E-011540-12
to the Commission
Rule 117
Amelia Andersdotter (Verts/ALE)

Can the Commission explain why it actively supports both the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime, which includes a specific derogation whereby parties may not criminalise procurement or possession of child abuse material, and the Global Alliance against Child Sexual Abuse Online, which specifically demands criminalisation?
