"Mr President, terrorism is nothing new. It is an ancient phenomenon that is used to disrupt a society and foment unrest and instability. Unfortunately, various Member States are already familiar with acts of terror that date back before Islamic terrorism, to, for example, the 1970s and 1980s, when the fight against terror went hand in hand with opinions on data protection that were held at the time. Today, we require new ways and techniques of tackling terrorism, with due respect shown for the freedom of individuals and guarantees of security for our society. I therefore wonder if, in the light of how terrorism used to be traced and fought, we might not have got our ideas about privacy out of proportion. I gather that many Members are reluctant to endorse far-reaching measures, but the restrictions and objections presented here in Parliament do not make it easy to work with data, and so I would ask Commissioner Frattini whether concrete measures can be identified that could boost confidence in the Commission and Council proposals. I am thinking of data storage in closed computer systems that do not communicate via the Internet. I would urge you to make clear and concrete pledges that will remove Parliament’s concerns."@en1
