Committee on Culture, Science and Education – Rapporteur: Mrs Tytti Isohookana-Asunmaa,   Finland, Liberal, Democratic and Reformers' Group.For debate in the Standing Committee see Rule 15 of the Rules of Procedure.

The Assembly believes in ensuring fair access to digital material for educational   and other socialy necessary purposes. In order to take account of new information   technology, a new balance has to be established between rewarding intellectual   property owners and making their work available to the larger public.

The Council of Europe should join forces with Unesco, and other international   bodies, for example in preparation of the World Summit on the Information Society   (WSIS), in order to establish the public service principle in the digital environment   and to draw up norms for the use of such material
