More Quotes from Gus Hosein:
One article that says privacy will be protected is not enough. We want clear language in each article stating privacy is important. National governments will pick and choose. They will go to wire-tapping first and get to Article 15 later.Gus Hosein
The council thought of putting in a data protection clause, which we would have liked, but it was shot down. Now the police can decide to hold on to data gathered on somebody if it is not needed anymore.

There are some nice changes in this latest draft, but we are not overly impressed. It still is a problematic document. The increase of the powers of law enforcement waters down the protection of human rights.
