"The EDPS today called on the European Council to place the rights of individuals at the core of justice and security policies in the years to come. The intention of the European Council to define strategic guidelines under the current treaties, for further legislative and operational planning in the area of freedom, security and justice is an opportunity to revitalise the EU's approach in these areas and to repair the loss of trust resulting from the revelations about mass surveillance."
