Faced with rising crime and threats to its security, the European Union must set itself two key objectives. The first objective consists of stepping up the fight against terrorism, which transcends borders and knows no limits in terms of violence and the threat it represents. The second objective remains the protection of fundamental rights on which Europe is built.
The adoption by all Member States of the Prüm Treaty proposed in 2007 by Germany forms part of the much needed improvement of police cooperation within the EU. The exchange of DNA profiles and valuable information, such as fingerprints and vehicle number-plates, between different national systems has already helped to solve numerous investigations. From the fight against abductions to international terrorism, not to mention the organisation of transnational events, these measures are essential.
However, European policy must combat crime, rather than build a system that will undermine the rule of law and destabilise democracy. The accessibility and use of personal data must be governed by European laws, which we can only hope will be adopted swiftly.
This report is a good illustration of the importance of the balance between data use and protection."@en1
