Mr. Charles Montpetit, Comité liberté d'expression, Union des écrivaines et des écrivains québécois: Madam Chairman, you have all received the brief I submitted on behalf of the Union des écrivaines et des écrivains québécois.

promoting freedom of association and assembly, unhindered movement of persons, freedom of opinion and expression, including political, artistic and cultural expression, unimpeded access to information, a free press and independent pluralistic media, both traditional and ICT-based, internet freedom and measures to combat administrative obstacles to the exercise of these freedoms, including the fight against censorship, particularly through the adoption and implementation of relevant legislation;

All preparatory activities and policy execution will therefore be carried out by bodies and administrative divisions separate from monetary policy functions through a supervisory board established within the ECB for this express purpose.

The EESC notes that the third recital of the preamble, and specifically Article 151 of the TFEU, are intended to promote improved living and working conditions ‘so as to make possible their harmonisation while the improvement is being maintained’ and expressly calls for a ‘Social Progress Protocol’ to be included in the Treaties in order to enshrine the principle of the equal value of fundamental social rights and economic freedoms and thereby make it clear that neither economic freedoms nor competition rules should be allowed to take precedence over fundamental social rights, and also to clearly define the impact of the Union's objectiv ...[+++]e of achieving social progress (1).

Deplores the fact that a number of legal provisions such as Articles 301, 318 and 220(6), in combination with Article 314(2), of the Penal Code, and Article 7(2) of the anti-terror law, Law No 5816 of 25 July 1951 – as well as statements by the Government and activities by public prosecutors – continue to limit freedom of expression; reiterates its call to the Government to finalise the review of the legal framework on freedom of expression and, without delay, to bring it into line with the ECHR and the case law of the European Court of Human Rights; r ...[+++]estates, in this context, the need for the Turkish Government to issue clear guidance to prosecutors in relation to laws that are frequently used to limit freedom of expression; deplores the repeated and disproportionate recourse to closure of websites and asks the Government to prepare amendments to the internet law (Law No 5651) in order to make sure that it no longer restricts freedom of expression or the right of citizens to access information;

It should expressly be mandated to monitor information exchanges between the Office and the institutions, bodies, offices and agencies and the developments regarding the application of procedural guarantees.
