EU: European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS): EU Internal Security Strategy: "Security and privacy concerns should be equally taken serious" says EDPS (Press release, pdf) and Opinion (pdf)

"Peter Hustinx, EDPS, says: "Internal security is an area where there are clear risks of intrusions into the citizens' privacy. This is why security and privacy concerns should be equally taken serious. I am convinced that an effective Internal Security Strategy can not be put in place without the support of a solid data protection scheme complementing it. In other words: no zero sums of privacy and security, we need them both!"
