EU-Datenschutzdirektive wird abgestimmt
-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
Übermorgen, Mittwoch, stimmt das Komitee für Bürgerrechte des
EU-Parlaments über die Neufassung der Direktive zum
Datenschutz ab. Die Auspizien sind nicht schlecht, es ist zu
hoffen, dass der Überwachungs/wahn aus dem Westen Europas
mit einem klaren "no" aus dem weitgehend BSE-freien Rest des
Kontinents entgegnet wird.

PRIVACY/EP: EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT POSITION AGAINST
GENERAL SURVEILLANCE IS A GOOD NEWS IN THE VIEW OF
THE VOTE ON THE PRIVACY DIRECTIVE THAT WILL TAKE
PLACE NEXT WEDNESDAY IN BRUSSELS (Cappato report)
Brussels, 6 July 2001
Declaration by Marco Cappato, Radical MEP of the Bonino List,
EP draftsman on the draft directive on privacy in electronic
communications:
"The adoption of a radical amendment that I had tabled on behalf of
the Radicals/ Lista Bonino MEPs on the report on Human Rights in
the European Union, the EP has assumed yesterday a clear
political position on the issue of intrusions by States' repressive
authorities in citizens' private life:
"the interception and storage of data concerning traffic and location
in electronic communications are entirely exceptional measures
which must be based on a specific law which is comprehensible to
the general public, be authorised by the judicial or competent
authorities, be of limited duration, and be proportionate and
necessary within a democratic society; points out that, under the
European Convention on Human Rights and pursuant to rulings
issued by the Court of Human Rights, any form of wide-scale
general or exploratory electronic surveillance is prohibited". The
political orientation of the EP is extremely important in the view of
the legislative decisions that are to be taken on the revision of the
directive on privacy in electronic communications, that opposes the
European Commission to the Council of Ministers. As draftsman of
the EP on this directive, I express the hope that the EP will support
my report when it will be voted in the committee for citizens'
freedoms and rights next Wednesday in Brussels: The EP has to
oppose to any effort by EU Member States to get wider powers in
intruding in private life of citizens, derogating to minimal human
rights and fundamental freedoms that are at the base of democracy
and Rule of Law".
