Opinion (pdf)

Commission proposal for a Council Decision (COM 600, 2005). The EDPS calls for a number of changes to strengthen the proposal. However, there is no right for the individual to be told of access to their data or of how it is further processed by the "internal security" agencies (anti-terrorist and law enforcement).

Our work is only possible with your support.
