"Mr President, this has been a rather heated debate, but I would like to emphasise three points which I believe are fundamental.
The accession process to the EU – and my country went through this – is not an easy one, but when a country is accepted into the EU, we really believe that this Member State has the ability to be the guarantor of fundamental human rights and also of the implementation of EU law.
For this particular sector, we have specific legislation. This is the directive concerning the processing of personal data and protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector.
So, the Commission has a very long and, I would say, a very respectable, track record on following EU legislation being implemented in Member States. I reported to you where we start now and I believe that you should have full trust that the Commission will act if EU law is breached. If it is not breached, it will not act.
So the Commission is monitoring the situation and, if there is the need, the Commission will act, but I think we should not go beyond the structures that are in Community law and the Commission will definitely stay within Community law."@en1
