Today, the European Parliament ordered new legislation to regulate credit card companies. This regulation follows the unilateral and rightsless cutoff of donations to WikiLeaks, as well as trampling on other small entrepreneurs. The Pirate Party took the initiative to the new regulation.

The European Parliament adopted the following passage today as part of a larger report, requesting legislation to be drafted on the matter, having the crucial text inserted by Pirate MEP Christian Engström:
32. It is the opinion of the European Parliament that the amount of enterprises, whose operations are wholly dependent on the ability of receiving payment by credit card, is likely to increase. The Parliament therefore considers it to be in the public interest to establish firm and objective regulations that determine the circumstances and processes, by which a card payment program can unilaterally refuse service.
