"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I am voting against the data retention directive, primarily because it is intrusive and technically unworkable.
The only threat to security is the threat to people’s right to privacy. This directive does not actually target suspects, those under investigation or known offenders, but pokes its nose into everyone’s affairs indiscriminately. The aim of this directive is to institutionalise horrendous discrimination against the vast majority of citizens, honest and peace-loving people, whom we should instead be protecting from this kind of abuse.
We cannot consent to having a controlled system of constant, unjustified spying in Europe, and one which is, moreover, pointless and expensive. We cannot institutionalise the failure to uphold the right to privacy. For these reasons I have voted ‘No’."@en1
