  • Datenschutz in Europa
    Fraktion der Progressiven Allianz der Sozialdemokraten im Europäischen Parlament Datenschutz in Europa © Gerd Altmann / pixelio.de Jutta Haug Bernhard Rapkay Birgit Sippel Die SPD-Europaabgeordneten für das Westliche Westfalen Datenschutz in Europa Vorwort Datenschutz ist ein Grundrecht. Niedergelegt in Art. 8 der Charta der Grundrechte der Europäi- schen Union heißt es da im Punkt 1: „Jede Person hat das Recht auf Schutz der sie betreffenden personenbezogenen Daten.“ Doch das Recht auf Datenschutz in Europa ist in den 27, demnächst 28 Mitgliedstaaten sehr unter- schiedlich geregelt. Es gibt zwar eine für alle verbindliche Richtlinie aus dem Jahr 1995; aber un- terschiedliche Umsetzungen haben zu einem ungleichen Datenschutzniveau in der EU geführt. Da- rüber hinaus sind wir fast 20 Jahre weiter und es gibt heute völlig neue und auch größere Heraus- forderungen für den Datenschutz. Um dem Rechnung zu tragen, ist eine Änderung der Datenschutzgesetzgebung nötig, für die die EU-Kommission im vergangenen Jahr zwei Vorschläge unterbreitet hat. Ziel ist ein einheitliches, modernes Datenschutzrecht mit hohen Standards für die ganze Europäische Union. Diese Vorschläge werden momentan in den zuständigen Gremien des Europäischen Parlamentes beraten. Der federführende Ausschuss für Bürgerliche Freiheiten, Justiz und Inneres (LIBE) wird in absehbarer Zeit einen Beschlussvorschlag unterbreiten. Wie heftig und umstritten die Debatte dazu ist, zeigt die Tatsache, dass einschließlich der Änderungsvorschläge der beiden Berichterstatter Dimitrios Droutsas (S&D-Fraktion) und Jan Philipp Albrecht (Fraktion der GRÜNEN) fast 4000 Änderungsanträge, die sich zum Teil natürlich diametral entgegenstehen, aus den Reihen der Ab- geordneten unterbreitet wurden. Die vorliegende Broschüre soll einen knappen Einstieg in diese Debatte vermitteln. Sobald im LIBE-Ausschuss das Mandat für die dann folgenden Verhandlungen mit dem (Justiz-) Ministerrat beschlossen wurde, werden wir in einer Folgebroschüre diese Entscheidung beschrei- ben.

They long to know what the decision-makers are thinking, so they can plan ahead. They yearn to be in the loop, to have the drop on things. It is the genius of the lobbyists and the consultants to understand this need, and to satisfy it in the most imaginative way. Business forums are vehicles for forging links and maintain a dialogue with business, industrial and trade organisations. They allow the discussions of general and pre-legislative issues in a different context from lobbying contacts about specific matters. They provide an opportunity to get Members of the European Parliament and other decision-makers from the European institutions together with various business sectors.

The financial and economic constitution of the European Union needs both to enhance its capacity to act and to reach a higher degree of democratic legitimacy: Greater democratic legitimacy may well result in greater political capabilities. In contrast, the increasing shift towards intergovernmental decision-making on fundamental political issues has proven to be a momentous error.

Or. de Justification The proposal violates the subsidiarity principle and would involve a disproportionate amount of red tape. In addition, it takes no account of measures implemented under existing European law. There is no demarcation between this proposal and existing EU law. Measures AM\685115EN.doc PE 390.761v03-00 EN EN already authorised under European law are criticised on the grounds that they would lead to soil degradation. In addition, the proposal provides for a harmonisation of risk assessment in connection with soil contamination with no Parliament involvement. (Schnellhardt and others) The directive breaches agreements laid down in the Treaties and restricts the Member States' right to take action under the subsidiarity principle.
