lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I welcome the fact that the EU is on the way to introducing its own data protection supervision. If there is no effective, independent supervision of the ways in which legislation is formulated and applied, people are in danger of having their human rights infringed in terms of Articles 7 and 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights – the right to respect for private and family life, as well as to the protection of personal data. More and more people handle ever greater quantities of sensitive personal information. The amount of such information will expand further, especially when Schengen has been fully integrated into Community legislation. Other sensitive information, of a kind as yet unknown, may be anticipated in the long term. The first EU country to introduce effective data protection was, interestingly enough, the country with the most far-reaching rules when it comes to openness and transparency. If it is to be possible to introduce a strong and generally applicable principle of transparency, it must be understood that any such principle needs to be strong where both these aspects are concerned. The rights balance each other out. We have the basis for legislation on transparency in place. The legislation must also be respected and be designed in the way that is intended and not restricted through other methods. Through data supervision, the EU also shows that it is serious about guaranteeing people their fundamental rights. The right of access to documentation and to information, together with the defence of fundamental rights are both legitimate. Neither takes precedence over the other. They also balance each other out in the Charter of Fundamental Rights, supported by this House. Logically, this position must also be reflected in the status of the data protection supervisor."@en1
