"I could not vote in favour of this report because I believe that the European Union simply cannot condone the collection of personal data on every citizen. Besides monitoring general samples of people, databases can be used to search for persons holding views that are politically or otherwise undesirable.
Every totalitarian regime in history has begun by amassing personal data on all of its citizens. I myself grew up under a forty-year-long totalitarian regime where the Communists in power collected my personal data and information about my phone calls.
Existing data transfer technology is still not secure enough and, therefore, potentially beneficial uses, such as the fight against terrorism, crime and money laundering, can easily be subverted. I could never explain to the public why I might vote for such a proposal."@en1
