European Parliament
Alexander Mirsky  (S&D ),
in writing.
– The report provides an answer to widespread concerns over an increase in libel tourism (claimants choosing the most favourable jurisdictions for their suit). I agree with the proposal to ask the Commission to consider for its future working programme a conflict of laws solution for privacy and rights relating to personality, which should be integrated into the Rome II Regulation. It builds on Parliament’s position of 6 July 2005, which was rejected in the Council.
