Strasbourg, 04.07.2008 - The Internet has created new opportunities and challenges to the enjoyment of human rights in particular related to privacy, security and freedom of expression when, for example, playing games online, accessing the Internet, using e-mail, participating in chats or making transactions.

On Wednesday 9 July, Jan Kleijssen, Director of Standard Setting of the Council of Europe, Patrice Chazerand, Secretary General of ISFE, and Michael Rotert, Vice-president of EuroISPA, will hold a press conference to launch these guidelines and to explain the opportunities and challenges that they address.

When: Wednesday, 9 July, 10.30

Where: Room 2, 2º floor, Palais de l'Europe,
