Brussels, 11/06/2008 (Agence Europe) - France recently presented its plans for a European platform for reporting illegal internet content. Police experts from 23 EU countries considered how better to combat cybercrime and child pornography at European level at a conference in Rheims which closed on Friday 6 June. During the conference, the forthcoming French Presidency presented its national model and encouraged its partners to adopt it as a basis for a future European reporting platform to be set up at Europol headquarters in The Hague. Development of this European platform is likely to be at the heart of discussions at the first meeting under the French Presidency of the EU Police Cooperation Working Party on 1-2 July. The next meeting on 14-15 September is expected to bring forward a draft to be considered by the COREPER, and then discussed at the Justice and Home Affairs Council in Brussels in November. Set up in 2006, the French system, staffed by police officers, allows service providers and internet surfers to report suspicious sites found on the Web. (B.C./transl.rt)
