With support from all five Austrian political parties, Austria's Justice Commission last week recommended that the Austrian Parliament amend the country's Telecommunications Law to forbid spam, or unsolicited e- mail. The changes would make it illegal to send e-mail without the specific consent of users, and would impose fines on those who disobey the law. The move came after intense lobbying efforts from groups representing both users and Internet service providers in Austria. The users earlier in the month sent an open letter to the Justice Commission, asking members of the working group to extend the same restrictions to e-mail that apply in Austria to faxes and telephone calls, which are forbidden without the consent of the user. The signatories included the service providers' group Internet Service Providers Austria (ISPA), Vibe (Austrian Internet users group), as well as Eurocauce, a European anti-spam lobby group. The open letter drew several positive e-mail responses from members of the Justice Commission, including Green Party member Terezija Stoisits. Even the lobbyists themselves were taken aback by the Justice Commission's decision last week, however. "We were surprised ourselves," said Ingo Liessegang, president of Vibe. The hope is that this proposal will also send a signal to the European Union, Liessegang said. So far, the European Union has taken a more conservative approach to spam. In May, the European Parliament upheld the original text of a European Commission proposal that gives consumers the right to opt out of receiving unsolicited e- mail, rejecting amendments that would have banned spam. Nonetheless, Liessegang was cautious. Although it is highly unlikely, the Austrian Parliament could reject the Justice Commission's recommendation. The topic will probably not be addressed in the Parliament before September or October, he said. source http://www.idg.net/idgns/1999/07/12/AustriaProposesSpamBan.shtml -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by Harkank published on: 1999-07-13 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
