Mr President, Mr Voss, data retention does not solve any problems. In fact, it is the problem. Let me offer an analogy. Not long ago, I was walking through my home city of Dresden and happened to spot a burglar breaking into a house. Let me ask you this: would you now act on this information by passing a directive which states that women in my age group should stroll through Europe’s cities at night in order to reduce the crime rate? I think we should be asking about the benefits of the Directive.
We are nearing the end of this debate and I have just one point to make. Instead of flogging a dead horse – to use your analogy – and filching millions of people’s data, I would suggest that we proceed as follows. Ms Malmström, perhaps you could offer different advice to the Interior Ministers of the EU Member States. You could tell them not to make cuts in the police or law enforcement agencies in their countries. You could tell them to provide decent training for the police and the judiciary and to tackle corruption, which is now widespread. If we manage to achieve that in our countries, we would be making a valuable contribution to combating crime, which would greatly benefit citizens."@en1
