Press Release - Retention of Communications Traffic Data published on 24 February 2003
I very much welcome this forum and I compliment Minister McDowell for hosting it as it is necessary that an informed debate takes place on this important matter. Let me say at the outset that as Data Protection Commissioner I will be supportive of measures that are demonstrably necessary to protect against crime or terrorism but such measures must be proportionate and have regard to the human right to privacy.
