"Madam President, the proposal for a directive being debated reveals in a characteristic and, I would say, cynical manner the character of the European Union itself, which has no hesitation in abolishing – I repeat abolishing – and not, in your words, restricting the personal and democratic rights achieved as a result of the fight of the peoples. In this particular instance, it is abolishing – I repeat abolishing – freedom of communication, personal data protection and privacy. It is abolishing the core of confidentiality of communications. It is safeguarding and introducing legislation imposing across-the-board monitoring. Everyone is under surveillance and provision is even made for criminal and administrative sanctions for companies which fail to comply with monitoring. The breadth of monitoring includes every detail of communication and the impudence of the directive is so great that it calls on those being monitored to pay the cost of monitoring. Apart from anything else, the directive also infringes constitutional provisions, for example of the Hellenic Constitution, and provisions of international conventions and obviously paves the way for abolishing personal rights and freedoms. We reject the draft directive, which will not brook improvement."@en1
