lpv:translated text	"Good laws are not enacted under pressure of time and with a faulty basis for decision-making. I am very critical of the way in which the process relating to the proposal for a decision on the retention of electronic communication services data has been handled. This is a difficult issue on which to adopt a position. Reflection is required, together with a solid factual basis. This is an approach we politicians owe Europeans. It is undoubtedly the case that information about telephone conversations can be of value in various criminal investigations. That does not, however, mean that we should give the green light to the extensive and systematic retention of both telephone conversations and e-mails. It must be possible to use electronic telecommunication data, but only in connection with very serious and well-defined crimes and following court decisions. A harmonisation of EU provisions is desirable, but it should be much more restrictive than is indicated by the current decision. Moreover, telecommunications operators will in all likelihood have to be compensated for their additional costs. The proposal for amending the directive, adopted in Parliament’s Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, was a step in the right direction. In the vote, this proposal was, however, rejected in favour of a proposal identical to that negotiated by the governments. I therefore chose to vote against the proposal for a directive. I should have liked to have seen a decision involving shorter retention periods. E-mails would have been exempted, and the use of electronic communication data would only have been permitted in the case of certain serious and well-defined crimes."@en1
