The rules governing access to telecommunications data is tightened and the data is more protected and secured. “This with a view to better protect the privacy of citizens’, reports the Ministry of Security and Justice Wednesday.
The retention of telecommunications data remains. This is essential for the detection of serious offenses and prosecutions. This is clear from the government’s response to a ruling by the European Court of Justice. In that statement, from April 2014, the Court declared the Data Retention Directive invalid. This Directive contains rules for Member States on data retention in connection with the fight against serious crime. The Court’s ruling does not mean that Dutch rules have suddenly become invalid, according to the Cabinet. The Dutch law is legally come about, according to the appropriate procedures.
Minister of Security and Justice sent the government’s position Wednesday to the House. At the same time ask the minister to different bodies to advise on a bill that achieves the desired changes. The aim is to bring Dutch legislation in line with the ruling of the Court, when it comes to the privacy of citizens and the protection of personal data.
