lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, we should emphasise the fact that the protection of personal data is essential to ensuring that every individual’s rights, fundamental freedoms and right to privacy are respected, throughout the European Community. This proposal is intended to respond, as has already been said, to two fundamental issues: the performance of the duties of this European data protection supervisor, which have already been laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 45/2001; in other words, the issue of the pay of the European supervisor and deputy supervisor and the issue of where they are to be based. With regard to the location, I agree with those who have said that it does not make sense to have it anywhere but Brussels, for the reasons that have already been stated and which I shall not repeat. There are, however, other issues which, perhaps due to the highly technical and abstract nature of the regulation, still remain open and which should be responded to. For example, provisions on procedural aspects and on the way in which the authority should exercise its powers of investigation should be included here. Furthermore, it is to be regretted that there is no instrument for data protection that could apply to all the Community pillars. The duties of this supervisor will be limited to the first pillar, but Europol and Schengen – for which data protection instruments are also planned, with the creation in 2000 of a joint secretariat – are currently excluded from the post’s scope. This means that very little data of a more sensitive nature will fall within the scope of this European supervisor’s mandate, which gives legitimacy to the criticism of those who say that the pay package is probably excessive for a post with such limited duties. I sincerely hope that in the near future, the current structure and organisation of this European Data Protection Supervisor can be adapted to also include, under the responsibility of a single European authority, supervisory authorities within the European organs created on the basis of Titles V and VI of the EU Treaty, in order to prevent the unnecessary duplication of functions and resources. At the same time, it would be good to alleviate the risk of a possible duplication of some functions between the Ombudsman and this European authority, with a view to optimising the use of Community resources."@en1
