"The UK government has been urged to take the lead in fighting cybercrime. Parliamentary lobby group EURIM and think tank The Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) said yesterday that the UK has an historic opportunity to spearhead the international fight against cybercrime whose economic effects 'already far outstripped that of physical crime'.
�The British tradition of democratically accountable policing, the position of London as a trusted location for resolving international disputes, and the Presidency of the EU and G8 in 2005, give the UK the opportunity to bid for global leadership as the safest place to do e-business, provided we also make it the most efficient hub for enforcement and redress,� the two organisations say in a report."
