| L'HAYLESROSES,France:Three teenage girls admitted starting a fire in a suburban Paris housing project over the weekend that killed 17 people,including three children,police said yesterday.A fourth girl was held yesterday morning. The fire in a 19storey building south of Paris was the third fatal blaze in the Paris area in nine days.The death toll rose to 16 after a man died last Sunday in a hospital,where seven others were being treated for serious injuries,police said. Three teenagers taken in for questioning on Sunday admitted having started the fire for fun,police said. Two of the suspects were 18yearold,the other was 16,police said.Further details were not available. Witnesses claimed to have seen a group of youths who lived in the building start the fire,said Patrick Seve,mayor of the town of L'HAYLESROSES,near Orly airport,where the building was located. The fire is believed to have broken out in the lobby (门厅) of the building before raging up a stairwell at least three floors.Some residents jumped from windows as the fire spread through the building's entrance. Authorities were investigating possible criminals in an August 26 fire that killed 14 African children and three adults in a Paris apartment building.Three days later,another fire killed seven in a building. Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy suggested on French television on Sunday night that copycats (盲目 模仿者) were at work."Each time there is a new story,sometimes that gives ideas to people who then turn into criminals," Sarkozy said,promising severe punishment for anyone found guilty of arson (纵火)． |

| For most people,shopping is still a matter of wandering down the street or loading a cart in a shopping mall.Soon,that will change. Electronic commerce (trade) is growing fast and will soon bring people more choices.There will, however, be a cost:protecting the consumer from being cheated will be harder. Many governments therefore want to apply strict regulations to the electronic world. But politicians would be wiser to see cyberspace as a basis for a new era of corporate selfregulation. Consumers in rich countries have grown used to the idea that the government takes responsibility for everything from the stability of the banks to the safety of the drugs or their rights to refund when goods are faulty.But governments cannot enforce national laws on businesses whose only presence is on the screen. Even in a country where a clear right to compensation exists,the online customer in Tokyo,say,can hardly go to New York to get a refund for a clothes purchase. One answer is for government to cooperate more:to recognize each other's rules.But that requires years of work and volumes of detailed rules.And plenty of countries have rules too fanciful for sober countries to accept.There is,however,another choice.Let the electronic businesses do the regulation themselves.They do,after all,have a selfinterest in doing so. In electronic commerce,a reputation for honest dealing will be a valuable competitive asset.Governments, too,may compete to be trusted.For instance,customers ordering medicines online may prefer to buy from the United States because they trust the rigorous screening of the Food and Drug Administration；or they may decide that the FDA's rules are too strict,and buy from Switzerland instead. Customers will still need to use their judgment.But precisely because the technology is new,electronic shoppers are likely for a while to be a lot more cautious than customers of the normal sort.And the new technology will also make it easier for them to complain when a company lets them down.In this way,at l east,the advent of cyberspace may argue for fewer consumer protection laws,not more. |
