Brief zur öffentlichen Konsultation der GD INFSO zum Thema „Offenes Internet und Netzneutralität in Europa“ (Fall 2010-0645)
Lettre relative au rapport de la Commission sur la situation en matière de protection des données dans le Système d'information du marché intérieur (IMI)
Letter on three legislative proposals concerning certain restrictive measures, namely with regard to Mr Milosevic and persons associated with him, in support of the mandate of the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, and in respect of Eritrea
On 20 July the EDPS sent a letter to the three Commission, European Parliament and Council reaffirming his position that data protection principles and necessary restrictions to them should be comprehensively and clearly laid down also in the area of restrictive measures taken by EU institutions with regard to certain individuals.
The Commission proposals envisage fighting terrorism or human rights abuses by imposing restrictive measures - notably, asset-freezing and travel bans - on natural and legal persons suspected of being associated with terrorist organisations and/or on certain governments. To this end, the European Commission publishes and publicises "blacklists" of the natural or legal persons concerned. In this case, the restrictive measures are proposed with regard to Mr Milosevic and persons associated with him, in support of the mandate of the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, and in respect of Eritrea.
By referring to two previous EDPS opinions of July and December 2009, the letter recalls that ensuring data protection in this area entails providing adequate information, access of listed individuals to their own personal data, adequate protection when data are exchanged with third countries or international organisations, the effectiveness of judicial remedies, and that necessary restrictions to data protection rights are clearly defined and thus foreseeable.
In conclusion, the EDPS stresses that - one year after the first EDPS opinion in this area and several months after the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty - it is now the right time for the EU legislator to address in a detailed, comprehensive and consistent way the issue of data protection in relation to restrictive measures, developing a policy that would enhance not only the protection of fundamental rights, but also the legal certainty and the effectiveness of the measures taken.
