Recommendation R(99) 5 for the protection of privacy on the Internet
(adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 23 February 1999 at the 660th meeting of the Ministers' Deputies)
The recommendation warns the Internet users of the fact that the Internet is not a safe place and every action taken in the Internet leaves traces. The existing safeguards are never satisfactory and the only solution would be the establishment by the member states of a code of ethics referring to basic principles and norms of community life.
