Negocjatorzy trzech instytucji UE: Parlamentu, Rady i Komisji uzgodnili wspólne stanowisko
http://www.edri.org/blocking_negotiations

Pozycje wyjściowe sprzed negocjacji:
Rada i Komisja – blokowanie jako obowiązkowe uzupełnienie usuwania, gdyż głównym problemem są treści zlokalizowane poza UE;
Parlament – fakultatywne blokowanie dla państw, w których zapewnione zostanie przestrzeganie praworządności tych działań także w postaci odpowiedniego nadzoru; coroczne sprawozdania dla Parlamentu.

Zasady porozumienia:
Zapisy co do blokowania są dość obszerne co oznacza jego zwiększona legitymizację. W jeszcze większym stopniu niż w propozycji Parlamentu zostało ono przesunięte do fakultatywnej decyzji państw członkowskich, pominięto też coroczne sprawozdania Komisji dla Parlamentu. Z drugiej strony te obszerniejsze zapisy co do blokowania w swej konkretnej treści oznaczają wysokie wymagania dla państwa, które chciałoby je stosować.

Wnioski:
Należy podtrzymywać nasze stanowisko, że blokowanie jest środkiem przestarzałym, kosztownym i nieefektywnym. Polska nie powinna pojąć inwestycji dla jego legalnego wprowadzenia (to co robi obecnie policja jest mocno oddalone od tego czego będzie wymagać dyrektywa). Zamiast tego Polska powinna uczynić rdzeniem swej polityki dążenie do efektywnego zacieśnienia współpracy międzynarodowej inwestując i domagając się od innych inwestycji w ten kierunek działań.

Dialog trzeba zacząć od poważnej rozmowy, kiedy usuwanie jest rzeczywiście niemożliwe i należy je zastąpić przez blokowanie, ale prowadzone na zasadach fakultatywnych przez samych adminów. Powinny być stworzone oddolne kanały komunikacji dla kontaktów między policjantami różnych krajów, adminami, organizacjami zajmującymi się na przykład ochroną dzieci i prawami podstawowymi. Od nich policje powinny się nauczyć jak można współpracować w skali międzynarodowej. Tą drogą da się nadać życie istniejącym porozumieniom o ochronie dzieci i zwalczaniu pornografii dziecięcej oraz określić w czym wymagają uzupełnienia.

 Outcome of the 3 December 2010 the Justice and Home Affairs Council aimed at starting the negotiations with the European Parliament in the framework of the ordinary legislative procedure.

Article 21
Measures against websites containing or disseminating child pornography

1. Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure the removal of webpages containing or disseminating child pornography hosted in their territory and to endeavour to obtain the removal of such pages hosted outside of their territory.

2.Where the removal of webpages containing or disseminating child pornography is not possible, Member States shall take the necessary measures, whether legislative or nonlegislative, to ensure that the blocking of access to webpages containing or disseminating child pornography is possible towards the Internet users in their territory. The blocking of access shall be subject to adequate safeguards, in particular to ensure that the blocking, taking into account technical characteristics, is limited to what is necessary, that users are informed of the reason for the blocking and that content providers, as far as possible, are informed of the possibility of challenging it.
Article 21
Measures addressing websites containing or disseminating child pornography or child abuse material

1. Member States shall take the necessary legislative measures to obtain the removal at source of Internet pages containing or disseminating child pornography or child abuse material. Internet pages containing such material shall be removed, especially when originating from an EU Member State. In addition, the EU shall cooperate with third countries in securing the prompt removal of such content from servers in their territory.

2. When removal at source of Internet pages containing or disseminating child pornography or child abuse material is impossible to achieve, Member States may take the necessary measures in accordance with national legislation to prevent access to such content in their territory. These measures must be set by transparent procedures and provide adequate safeguards, in particular to ensure that the restriction is limited to what is necessary and proportionate, and that users are informed of the reason for the restriction. Content providers and users shall be informed of the possibility to whom to appeal under a judicial redress procedure.

2a. Any measure under paragraphs 1 and 2 shall respect fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons, as guaranteed by the European Convention of the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and general principles of Union law. Those measures shall provide for prior authorisation in accordance with national law, and the right to an effective and timely judicial redress.

2b. The European Commission shall submit to the European Parliament an annual report on the activities undertaken by Member States to remove child sexual abuse material from Internet pages. 
Article 21
 Measures against websites containing or disseminating child pornography

1. (...) Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure the prompt removal (...) of webpages containing or disseminating child pornography hosted in their territory and to endeavour to obtain the removal of such pages hosted outside of their territory.

2 (...) Member States may take measures to block access to webpages containing or disseminating child pornography towards the Internet users in their territory. These measures must be set by transparent procedures and provide adequate safeguards, in particular to ensure that the restrictions is limited to what is necessary and proportionate, and that users are informed of the reason for the restriction. These safeguards shall also include the possibility of judicial redress.

(13) Child pornography, which constitutes sex abuse images, is a specific type of content which cannot be construed as the expression of an opinion. To combat it, it is necessary to reduce the circulation of child abuse material by making it more difficult for offenders to upload such content onto the publicly accessible Web. Action is therefore necessary to remove the content at source and apprehend those guilty of making distributing or downloading child abuse images. The EU, in particular through increased cooperation with third countries and international organisations, should seek to facilitate the effective removal by third country authorities of websites containing child pornography, which are hosted in their territory.
However (…), despite such efforts, the removal of child pornography content at its source is often not possible where the original materials are not located within the EU, either because the State where the servers are hosted is not willing to cooperate or because obtaining removal of the material from the State concerned proves to be particularly long. Therefore mechanisms should also be put in place to block access from the Union’s territory to internet pages identified as containing or disseminating child pornography. For that purpose, different mechanisms can be used as appropriate, including facilitating the competent judicial or police authorities to order such blocking, or via non legislative measures1 supporting and stimulating Internet Service Providers on a voluntary basis to develop codes of conduct and guidelines for blocking access to such Internet pages. Both with a view to the removal and the blocking of child abuse content, cooperation between public authorities should be established and strengthened, particularly in the interest of ensuring that national lists of websites containing child pornography material are as complete as possible and of avoiding duplication of work. 
Any such developments must take account of the rights of the end users, adhere to existing legal and judicial procedures and comply with the European Convention on Human Rights and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The Safer Internet Programme has set up a network of hotlines whose goal is to collect information and to ensure coverage and exchange of reports on the major types of illegal content online.

(13)     Child pornography, which constitutes sex abuse images, is a specific type of content which cannot be construed as the expression of an opinion. To combat it, it is necessary to reduce the circulation of child abuse material by making it more difficult for offenders to upload such content onto the publicly accessible Web. Action is therefore necessary to remove the content and apprehend those guilty of making, distributing or downloading child abuse images. Member States should do their best to cooperate with third countries in seeking to secure the removal of such content from servers in their territory.

(13aa)  However, despite such efforts, the removal of child pornography content at its source is often not possible where the original materials are not located within theUnion, either because the State where the servers are hosted is not willing to cooperate or because obtaining removal of the material from the State concerned proves to be particularly long. Mechanisms may also be put in place to block access from the Union’s territory to internet pages identified as containing or disseminating child pornography. It is understood that the measures undertaken by Member States in accordance with this directive in order to remove or, where appropriate, block websites containing child pornography could be based on various types of public action, such as legislative, non-legislative, judicial or other. [1] In this context, the provisions of this directive are without prejudice to voluntary action taken by the internet industry to prevent misuse of their services, or to any support for such action by Member States.Whichever basis for action or method is chosen, Member States should ensure that it provides an adequate level of legal security and predictability to users and service providers.Both with a view to the removal and the blocking of child abuse content, cooperation between public authorities should be established and strengthened, particularly in the interest of ensuring that national lists of websites containing child pornography material are as complete as possible and of avoiding duplication of work. Any such developments must take account of the rights of the end users, adhere to existing legal and judicial procedures and comply with the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The Safer Internet Programme has set up a network of hotlines whose goal is to collect information and to ensure coverage and exchange of reports on the major types of illegal content online.  

(new) This Directive aims to amend and expand the provisions of Framework Decision 2004/68/JHA. Since the amendments to be made are of substantial number and nature, the Framework Decision should in the interests of clarity be replaced in its entirety in relation to Member States partipicating in the adoption of this Directive
 (13a)  The Council, in accordance with paragraph 34 of the Interinstitutional agreement on better law-making, should encourage Member States to draw up, for themselves and in the interest of the Union, their own tables, which will, as far as possible, illustrate the correlation between the Directive and the transposition measures and to make them public.[2]
 [1] It was expressly requested by the EP to make reference to these ideas, as well as to predictability.
 [2] This provision (correlation tables) is subject to further agreement among the institutions.
