"I think that we had a very helpful and full debate just now on the need to use all the means at our disposal to combat terrorism, as long as our basic rights and freedoms are respected. As I just said, it is vital to maintain that balance at all costs.
A number of countries want to set up a system to tackle the resources at the disposal of terrorists. We know that terrorists are using all manner of possible technologies in an increasingly sophisticated way. This initiative therefore deserves to be followed up and explored, because it would provide us with a more effective means of countering the use of such technology, particularly over the Internet.
Nevertheless, I must stress that the use of data retention must go hand in hand with respect for privacy and data protection. A balance needs to be struck between security on the one hand and freedom on the other. We must not, however, deprive ourselves out of hand of the use of means that in certain circumstances – and 11 May 2004 comes to mind once again here – could mean that human lives are spared, perhaps dozens, hundreds or even thousands of lives."@en1
