Bearing in mind that this is a case of the Council ‘consulting’ the EP, we would like to emphasise that although we have supported amendments put forward by the EP, even though they water down previously adopted positions, we believe that this proposal falls far short of what is needed in the area of ‘protection of personal data processed in the framework of police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters’.
In addition to other crucial aspects in our negative assessment of this proposal, we highlight the fact that it does not rule out, even though it attaches (pseudo) conditions, ‘the processing of personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs or trade-union membership and the processing of data concerning health or sex life’, which is unacceptable!
As was pointed out in the debate, it is a proposal based on a lowest common denominator for an issue of such overarching importance as safeguarding the rights, freedoms and guarantees of the citizens of the various Member States, that is below what is laid down in other legal instruments, particularly those of the Council of Europe.
Ensuring the protection of personal data is an urgent and indispensable issue. It cannot be achieved through a legal instrument that – because of its gaps and flaws – does not guard against the possibility of non-compliance or non-protection.
That is why we abstained."@en1
