Question No. 547 Ms. Siobhan Coady: — With regard to Secure Channel: (a) what problems have occurred with its operation; (b) what were the costs associated with each of these problems; (c) were any of the costs covered as an administration cost drawn from the employment insurance fund; and (d) has a cost analysis of Secure Channel been completed and, if so, will it be made public?

To achieve a timely and simultaneous application by Member States, protected zones should be recognised by Regulation.

In the past protected zones were recognised and amended by Directive.

Many delegations quoted the important reforms of the Common Fisheries Policy in 2002 and of the Common Agriculture Policy in 2003-2004 as major achievements towards sustainable development notably with the introduction of cross-compliance and modulation, and underlined the positive role of the Council towards SDS through the examination of a new organic legislative framework, of the Biomass action plan and the recent amendment of the Regulations on Protected Denominations of Origin (PDOs), Protected Geographical Indications (PGIs) and Traditional Specialities Guaranteed (STGs).

It should be made clear that all rightholders recognised by this Directive should have an exclusive right to make available to the public copyright works or any other subject-matter by way of interactive on-demand transmissions.

Therefore, without prejudice to any other sanctions and remedies available, rightholders should have the possibility of applying for an injunction against an intermediary who carries a third party's infringement of a protected work or other subject-matter in a network.
