GLOBAL INTERNET COMMUNITY APPLAUDS EUROPEAN ANTI-SPAM VOTE

May 31, 2002 - The Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial E-Mail (CAUCE), EuroCAUCE, CAUCE India, CAUCE Canada and the Coalition Against Unsolicited Bulk E-Mail, Australia (CAUBE.au) today applauded the decision by the European Parliament to protect European Internet users from the practice of unsolicited e-mail advertisements. Yesterday's vote will turn Europe into a virtual "spam-free zone" after the formal adoption of the directive, making it illegal to send unsolicited e-mail, text message or other similar advertisements to individuals with whom companies do not have a preexisting business relationship.

(...)

While six European Union member countries had already formalized "opt-in" in their national laws and regulations, yesterday's vote should turn all of Europe into a spam-free zone by the end of 2003.

More information on the E.U. directive is available on the European Parliament's Web site http://www.europarl.eu.int/press/index_en.htm, and a EuroCAUCE analysis is available at http://www.euro.cauce.org/en/amendments1a.html.
