> Namely, the High Authority (HADOPI: "Haute Autorit=E9 pour la diffusion d=
es

of
> the bill) to (see Article 16 of the bill):
>
> 1=B0) send a warning message to the alleged infringing user;
>
> 2=B0) In case of "repeated" infringing acts, estimated within a period of=
 one
> year (without any further precision), ask for the termination of Internet
> access for a one year period with the impossibility for the user to
> subscribe to another Internet provider.

> However, instead of this sanction procedure, the Authority can propose a
> "transaction" consisting in suspending the Internet access service for a

r.

> Other flexibility introduced in the bill: Internet access providers shoul=
d
> not have the obligation to provide their users with "efficient" systems
