Some do concern anti-terrorism, but many do not - covering criminal investigations, data surveillance, border controls and immigration policies. The letter addressed to Mr Romano Prodi, the President of the European Commission, from the US President Bush includes a demand that "data protection issues in the context of law enforcement and counter-terrorism imperatives" should be considered and that: "draft privacy directives that call for mandatory destruction to permit the retention of critical data for a reasonable period" should be revised. A US official is quoted as saying that: "This is not an US-EU issue, it is more a question of law enforcement versus a strict interpretation of civil liberties". But under United States law there is no similar obligation for the general data retention by telecommunications companies (see letter from NGOs below). The EU data protection directives, and the data protection rules in the Schengen Convention, the Europol Convention, the Customs Information System Convention and the EU Mutual Assistance Convention, already grant extensive derogations from their rules to facilitate law enforcement. Similarly, Article 8 ECHR and the Council of Europe data protection Convention also contain provisions permitting expedited exchange of data by law enforcement agencies. But the US is not a signatory to any of these instruments. Under the heading "police and judicial cooperation" the US wants EU: "police authorities and local magistrates of member and accession states to deal directly with US law enforcement authorities" Mehr http://www.statewatch.org/news/2001/nov/06uslet.htm Der Bush/Brief im Volltext http://www.statewatch.org/news/2001/nov/06Ausalet.htm -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by Harkank published on: 2001-11-15 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
