Nederland te laat met invoeren spam-beleid

Nederland en acht andere Europese landen moeten haast maken met een wettelijke regeling tegen ongewenste e-mails, de zogeheten spam. Volgens een Europese richtlijn voor 'elektronische privacy' had de regeling op 31 oktober moeten ingaan. Omdat dat niet is gebeurd, heeft de Europese Commissie de eerste stap gezet in een klachtenprocedure tegen de negen landen. De regeling moet tevens voorwaarden stellen aan zogeheten 'cookies', een soort internetvoetsporen.
