EP/PRIVACY: bindende Rahmenentscheidung zur verpflichtenden Datenspeicherung mit den Stimmen der Konservativen und Sozialdemokraten am 30.Mai angenommen

EP/PRIVACY: POPULAR AND SOCIALIST GROUPS DETERMINE EP ENDORSEMENT OF COUNCIL REQUESTS FOR DATA RETENTION AUTHORISATION IN EU LAW, AGAINST CIVIL LIBERTIES ORGANISATIONS APPEALS - THE FIGHT AGAINST DATA RETENTION GOES ON AT THE NATIONAL AND EUROPEAN LEVEL






Brussels, 30 May 2002

Declaration of Marco Cappato, Radical MEP of the Lista Bonino and EP rapporteur on the directive on privacy in electronic communications:

"With the vote of today, the directive on privacy in electronic communications can be correctly defined the directive of data retention and of iper-regulation of the Internet. The EP first reading position, as confirmed by the civil liberties committee in second reading, have been completely reversed in plenary, convincing me to
withdraw my name from the report, as I announced in plenary after the vote. PPE and PSE have approved the set of amendments they had tabled together - with the opposition of the rapporteur and of my Radical colleagues, the Liberals, the Greens and the Communists - and that determined the EP surrender to the Council requests for
iper-regulation of the Internet and for data retention. On this issue, from now on Member states of the EU have an explicit authorisation in this EU directive to impose on telecom and Internet service providers the retention and storing of all citizens' communication datas, such as telephone and mobile calls, Internet surfing, emails, location datas.

The requests of the almost 17 thousand citizens that had signed a open letter-appeal on line (www.stop1985.com and www.radicalparty.com) to ask to MEPs to vote against the insertion of this "data retention" provision, have been ignored. Mme Ana Palacio - Spanish PPE, that worked hard to sponsor the Spanish Council Presidency requests in the EP, and to have the committee position she chairs completely reversed in plenary, furthermore being absent yesterday and today either during EP debates and votes - and Mme Paciotti - PSE shadow rapporteur, that did a remarkable U turn on data retention, passing from opposition to endorsement - took the political responsibility of driving their EPP and PSE colleagues for this vote.

Belgium, Holland, Germany, the UK are working on data retention laws that could make possible the generalised, massive surveillance of the citizens, and efforts to co-ordinate and establish a Europewide regime of data retention are taking place in the Council and in Europol.

The fight on the protection of privacy now has to go on at the national and European level, to protect civil liberties and foundamental freedoms from measures that with the declared and apparent aim of fighting against terrorism to protect democracy, have the effect of damaging it.

You can see who voted how on amendment 20 (Cappato report - LIBE amendment on deletion of data retention) and on the split vote asked by Marco Cappato and the GUE, Green and ELDR groups on Palacio-Paciotti amendment 46, 2nd part (data retention) on the webpage of the EP:
