Thierry Breton, the Internal Market Commissioner, held a videoconference with the heads of Europe’s telecommunications companies and the GSMA (Global System for Mobile Communications) to explore options for sharing geolocation metadata in order to map and forecast the spread of the virus. The Commission claims that such a move would be fully in line with the General Data Protection Regulation and e-privacy legislation. How does the Commission intend to guarantee EU citizens full anonymisation of their personal data? How exactly does the Commission envisage using such data? Not content with surveillance and quarantine enforcement, Israel and a number of Asian countries have adopted a proactive AI-based approach that alerts individuals if they have been in contact with a virus carrier. How do the Commission’s plans compare, and what logistical support will it provide the Member States which opt for this approach? PE650.848v01-00.

This explanation harks back to the famous 'highly likely’ statement made in 2018 by the then British Prime Minister, Theresa May. Apparently, the two ministers did not need to wait for the findings of a judicial investigation to assign responsibility (naming defendants), establish guilt (delivering a verdict) and impose sanctions (handing down sentences), in a case that is still far from being definitively solved. Does the Council not take the view that such a decision violates Articles 48 and 51 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, which state that 'everyone who has been charged shall be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law’ and that 'the provisions of this Charter are addressed to the institutions and bodies of the Union with due regard for the principle of subsidiarity and to the Member States only when they are implementing Union law'?

  • Question for Written Answer
    Question for written answer E-005396/2020 to the Commission Rule 138 Jean-Lin Lacapelle (ID), François-Xavier Bellamy (PPE), Ivan Vilibor Sinčić (NI), Rosanna Conte (ID), Gilles Lebreton (ID), André Rougé (ID), Gilbert Collard (ID), Aurelia Beigneux (ID), Herve Juvin (ID), Maxette Pirbakas (ID), Elżbieta Kruk (ECR), Ivan David (ID), Jérôme Rivière (ID), Annika Bruna (ID), Traian Băsescu (PPE), Catherine Griset (ID), Julie Lechanteux (ID), Ioannis Lagos (NI), Silvia Sardone (ID), France Jamet (ID) Subject: Failings of CETA and presence of hormone-treated meat on the European market An audit1 carried out by the Commission’s Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety aimed at assessing the traceability of Canadian pork and beef intended for export under the CETA free trade agreement has uncovered serious failings. While the CETA opened the European beef market to Canadian exporters, the audit has revealed loopholes in Canadian legislation which make it possible for hormone-treated beef to be labelled ‘hormone-free’. Since Council Directive 96/22/EC of 29 April 19962 formally prohibits the marketing of beef intended for human consumption which has been treated with substances having a thyrostatic, oestrogenic, androgenic or gestagenic action and ß-agonists (scientific names of the hormones), 1. Does the Commission think that this situation constitutes a breach of European law and the free trade agreement signed with Canada? 2. Will the Commission consider imposing a moratorium on the import of Canadian meat in order to protect the health of Europeans? 3. What provisions will the Commission put in place to ensure that there is no repeat of this situation? Might it renegotiate the agreements which made it possible, where necessary? Supporter3 1 Report DG(HEALTH)/2019-6681 – Final report of an audit carried out in Canada from 09 September 2019 to 20 September 2019 in order to evaluate the control systems in place governing the production of bovine and pig meat intended for export to the European Union.
