"Madam President, Commissioner and Council, this legal area is still extremely undeveloped, even if, in all honesty, it also has to be said that a very great deal has nonetheless happened in the last ten years. Thinking back, for example, to the prevailing mood and spirit when we voted through the action plan to combat organised crime, it is noticeable that there is, in any case, a different rhetoric present today than there was in the nation states at that time. There is a serious imbalance, however. The Member States are neglecting fundamental human rights. The spirit of the new Treaty, which speaks of new forms of democracy and of respect for fundamental rights, emphatically cannot in actual fact be neglected. The European Parliament’s views cannot just be sidelined, leaving us to work on implementing the Treaty precisely as it stands. It is a question of making room for dialogue on this matter.
Before the issue of data storage is debated, it is time to discuss whether such measures make any sense at all. Mr Frattini has an extremely important responsibility, and I support what he said in his contribution. Even if the Luxembourg Presidency has the best intentions, many in this Parliament wonder in what direction the objectives and priorities of the Council as a whole are actually pointing. Data storage and monitoring are serious encroachments on people’s freedom. In this Parliament, we absolutely cannot agree to these matters being pushed through without there being cooperation with Parliament on the issue. We look forward with hope to Mr Frattini’s forthcoming efforts."@en1
