"Mr President, Madam Federal Chancellor, the European Union’s primary interest lies in protecting the freedom and security of 480 million people. You were right, in the programme for your presidency, to prioritise the area of justice and internal policy and equally right to lay special emphasis on citizens’ rights. Although there are sensible proposals to be found in it, what I would like to have from you is a clear commitment concerning the balance of freedom and security.
What, then, is your position on the introduction – already carried out – of biometric identifiers in identity documents, on the retention of data, on the handing over of air travellers’ data and of data relating to financial transactions to the United States, on the creation of European databases and on the Prüm Convention? What we see happening here is the octopus of data management spreading its tentacles ever wider. Will the German Presidency see the conclusion of the negotiations on the Framework Decision on data protection in the third pillar, and hence the restoration of balance to the scales of freedom and security?"@en1
