"Mr President, for some months now, we have been talking about the need to strike the right balance between maintaining security and defending citizens’ personal rights, emphasising that citizens must be at the epicentre of the Stockholm Programme. However, the European Union is adopting and applying measures which upset the balance between security and rights, result in the creation of bodies to monitor and collect all sorts of personal data and insult our dignity by making suspects of us all. Furthermore, it is unacceptable for immigrants to be treated as criminals and possible terrorists. We disagree with the draft resolution, because it lays the foundations for us to build a modern European Panopticon in which, like the prison designed by Jeremy Bentham, everyone’s actions are constantly monitored without the detainees’ knowing the extent of their supervision, thereby giving them a false sense of privacy."@en1
