Thank you for your comments.

The idea behind the "complex of rights" actually comes out of the
right to communicate community (some of us at least), as you may know.
I chose simply to repond to that particular paragraph at a more general
level than RTC, letting the communication righs caucus introduce it.

I hope this is clear.

Let us find a better phrase than "free flow."

I think we will have to insist on  general principles as Meryem and Rikke did before entering in details. If you refer to my previous message , i think we should go further than react to the draft.
