"Madam President, in its declaration on combating terrorism of 25 March 2004, the European Council instructed the Council of the EU to examine proposals for establishing rules on the retention by service providers of data on communications traffic. The declaration calls for the adoption of an instrument on the retention of data on communications traffic by June 2005. In April 2004, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Ireland and France presented a proposal for a framework decision on the subject. The Council asked the European Parliament for an opinion on the proposal, which it has begun to examine.
On 2 December 2004, the Council held a debate on the matter. A number of points were raised, but they will have to be examined in greater detail before the instrument can be properly finalised. The Council particularly emphasised the need to pay special attention to the proportionality of the proposed measure in terms of its cost, whether it adequately safeguards privacy, especially as regards personal data protection, and its effectiveness.
These deliberations are continuing within the Council’s preparatory bodies, and there is no doubt that the criticisms made by the Article 29 Group will be taken into account and will be one of the items on the negotiating agenda.
More recently, the Commission has expressed the view that some aspects of the draft framework decision relating to the harmonisation of data categories and data retention periods fall within the competence of the Community, which should be reflected in a directive based on Article 95 of the EC Treaty. The Council awaits the presentation of a proposal from the Commission for its consideration."@en1
