“Targeted” Data Retention: our map explained
This online map demonstrates that according to publicly available data, the allegedly geographically “targeted” data retention proposed by a Belgian draft law will in truth cover the entire national territory and the entire population. This is the first time, citizens and Members of Parliament get a rough impression of the law’s impact, since the government does not provide the data necessary. Please find a detailed explanation below the map. (And read more in our press release.)
Red areas are zones of mass surveillance
The Belgian government plans data retention on five levels (Art. 126/1 § 3 from page 330). Our map shows, colored red, the areas affected by surveillance only on the first of these five levels, the so-called geographically “targeted” data retention. In the areas colored red, all connection and location data of all citizens would be retained. With each of the other four levels explained below, more red-colored areas would be added. In practice, the surveillance pressure against the population is even higher than shown on our map.
A new generation of mass surveillance laws
In combination of all levels, the Belgian Government’s plans undermine the essence of the rulings of the EU Court of Justice. The latter stipulates that surveillance is at most possible in temporary, objectively justified exceptional cases and when really necessary. The plans of the Belgian government, on the other hand, are aimed at permanent and comprehensive data retention. This is why this model must not become a blueprint for the EU and its Member States.
Belgian data retention model violates citizens’ rights
The European Court of Justice ruled that general and indiscriminate retention of information on every person’s calls and movements violates the fundamental right to respect for privacy. In a legal opinion published in April, former EU judge Prof. Dr. iur. Vilenas Vadapalas states that targeting all areas with above-average crime rates would not be compatible with the values and case-law available.
Low crime areas covered
According to our calculations, the Belgian average crime rate is of 11 serious offences per 1,000 inhabitants per three years. Compared to the national average, the proposed thresholds (3, 5 and 7) enabling data retention are thus far below the national average, and the proposal would hence even covers low-crime areas, in contradiction with the former ECJ judge’s opinion.
The Belgian Data Retention Model: surveillance on five levels
Level 1: As shown in the map in red is geographically “targeted” data retention in areas with an average of at least three crimes per 1,000 inhabitants over the past three years. The decisive factors are executed and attempted criminal offenses under Article 90ter §§ 2 to 4 of the Belgian Code of Criminal Procedure. The threshold of three offenses per 1,000 inhabitants is set by the government.
Note: The following other four levels are not shown in the map
Level 2: General data retention throughout the national territory for 12 months, starting at level three of the five-level national threat level.
Level 3: Data retention for particularly vulnerable areas for 12 months. This applies to places frequented by everyone: Ports, metros, airports, critical infrastructure communities, etc.
Level 4: Data retention for 12 months in zones with a potential threat to the interests of the country or the population: buildings of economic or scientific scientific importance, highways, public parking lots, city halls, the National Bank of Belgium, etc.
Level 5: Data retention for 12 months in areas with a potential threat to international institutions and includes EU, NATO, UN and other buildings, among other areas.
How we accessed and compiled the data
For this map, we used only public sources, geo data from taxation authority (provided by geo.be), population data from statistics body and over 1.000 PDFs with crime data from the federal police.
We then wrote our own software to scan the PDFs and to free the crime figures and make them accessible for machines. We also generated a list of over 1.000 different sorts of crime contained in the police data and tried to determine, which of them would trigger data retention following the Belgian governments data retention draft.
Putting these data together, we got a list of 13 Belgian judicial provinces (arrondissements judicaires) with the number of crimes and population in that area, which in the end made the map we present here.
We computed for each province/zone:
1000 x number of crimes (according to art. 90ter §§ 2-4) / population
(The number of crimes was the average yearly value from years 2018-2020.)
If the result number for a province goes over 3, the area becomes red. All areas are far above this level. For 2021 no complete data was provided in the reports we got. All data we digged will be available to the public on codeberg.org where you can also read the whole story about the adventures of freeing Belgian crime data.

Conservation “ciblée” des données : cartographier ce que le gouvernement belge veut cacher
Le Parlement belge s’apprête à voter en commission ce jeudi 09/06/2022 sur la nouvelle proposition de conservation des données, qui comprend un système de conservation des données prétendument géographiquement “ciblé”. Au moyen d’une carte interactive qu’il rend disponible en ligne, le député européen Patrick Breyer (Verts/ALE, Pirates) démontre que, selon les données publiques disponibles, ce système de rétention “ciblée” couvrira en réalité l’ensemble du territoire national et de la population.
La Cour de justice des Communautés européennes (CJUE) a statué que la conservation générale et indiscriminée d’informations sur les appels et les déplacements des personnes violait le droit fondamental au respect de la vie privée. En mai, le député européen Patrick Breyer et l’ONG belge la Ligue des droits humains (LDH) ont déposé des avis sur le projet de loi belge, qui prétend mettre en œuvre les arrêts de la CJUE.
Carte en ligne : Ce à quoi ressemblerait la rétention de données géographiquement “ciblée” selon les plans du gouvernement belge : patrick-breyer.de/en/data-rete…
L’eurodéputé Patrick Breyer met en garde :
“Le projet de loi belge est un dangereux précédent pour une nouvelle génération de lois sur la rétention des données. Les autorités de surveillance accros aux données tentent de contourner les arrêts des Cours sur l’illégalité de la collecte généralisée des communications et des données de localisation. À première vue, les plans de surveillance semblent limités, mais ceux qui les examinent de près se rendent vite compte que l’intention de la loi est de maintenir une surveillance de masse totale, contrairement aux arrêts de la Cour de justice de l’UE.”
Une législation opaque – une surveillance totale
Les députés belges ont demandé à de nombreuses reprises au gouvernement de divulguer le pourcentage de la population ou du territoire qui serait couvert par sa proposition. À chaque fois, le ministre de la Justice (Vincent van Quickenborne) a affirmé ne pas connaître les chiffres ; il invite les députés à voter la loi sans tenir compte de l’absence de ces chiffres, et à attendre un an pour découvrir dans le rapport annuel de transparence l’impact réel que sa proposition législative aura sur la population belge. Il s’avère que ces affirmations d’ignorance sont vraisemblablement fausses, car les seuils choisis par le gouvernement pour “activer” la conservation des données dans les zones “ciblées” semblent avoir été fixés de manière à ce que l’ensemble du territoire soit couvert. Le député Breyer a en effet chargé un chercheur de réaliser lui-même l’exercice de cartographier le territoire couvert, en utilisant des données publiques sur les statistiques de la criminalité belge. Avec la publication de cette carte, les citoyens et les députés peuvent enfin se faire une première idée de l’impact de la loi et se rendre compte qu’en effet, cette forme “ciblée” de conservation des données n’est pas du tout ciblée: Il ne s’agit que d’une autre forme de surveillance généralisée déguisée, qui sera sans aucun doute annulée par la Cour pour la troisième fois en Belgique. Peut-être qu’un débat informé peut maintenant (enfin) avoir lieu à la Chambre?
Les plans violent les droits des citoyens
Dans le même temps, la Commission européenne propose aux États membres des idées sur la manière dont la rétention des données pourrait peut-être être effectuée massivement sans pour autant franchir les limites fixées par la CJUE dans ses nombreux arrêts. L’une de ces idées consiste à utiliser l’approche “ciblée” pour couvrir la plus grande partie possible de la population, ce qui est précisément ce que le gouvernement belge tente de mettre en œuvre ici – d’où l’intervention du député Breyer, face à un Etat Membre qui donnerait un mauvais exemple à suivre pour les autres. Dans un avis juridique publié en avril, l’ancien juge de la CJUE, Prof. Dr. iur. Vilenas Vadapalas déclarait déja que cibler toutes les zones présentant un taux de criminalité supérieur à la moyenne ne serait pas compatible avec les valeurs et la jurisprudence disponibles. Il soulignait qu’il doit y avoir une incidence “élevée” (et pas seulement supérieure à la moyenne) de criminalité grave dans une zone pour justifier le recours à la conservation des données.
Or, en Belgique selon nos calculs, le taux de criminalité moyen national est de 11 infractions graves pour 1 000 habitants pour 3 ans. Par rapport à la moyenne nationale, le seuil minimal (3) proposé par le gouvernement est donc bien inférieur à la moyenne, et couvre aussi les zones à faible criminalité, en contradiction avec l’opinion de l’ancien juge de la CJUE.
L’approche “Quick Freeze”, une solution viable
Cependant, quel que soit le seuil à atteindre pour satisfaire les lignes rouges fournies par la CJUE, le député Breyer est d’avis que cette approche est fondamentalement erronée. S’engager dans le bourbier qu’est de déterminer le “bon” seuil (ou la “bonne” taille des zones à surveiller) implique aussi d’accepter le prédicat selon lequel il est acceptable que le gouvernement exerce une surveillance de masse sur ses citoyens, pour la majorité innocents. Au lieu de cela, le député Breyer exhorte les législateurs européens à trouver d’autres moyens, plus proportionnés et ayant moins d’impact sur la démocratie et les droits fondamentaux des personnes.
Une telle solution proportionnée est l’approche dite de “gel rapide”, telle qu’elle est actuellement discutée en Allemagne; selon cette approche, les données pertinentes ne sont conservées qu’à partir du moment où il existe une raison suffisante de le faire. L’accord de coalition allemand va en ce sens: “Compte tenu de l’incertitude juridique actuelle, de l’arrêt à venir de la Cour de justice de l’Union européenne et des défis qui en découlent en matière de politique de sécurité, nous ferons évoluer la réglementation sur la conservation des données de manière à ce que les données puissent être conservées de manière juridiquement sûre sur une base ad hoc et par décision judiciaire.” L’Union Européenne attend que la Cour de justice des Communautés européennes se prononce sur l’ancienne loi allemande sur la conservation des données avant de décider d’imposer ou non la conservation des données dans toute l’UE. Dans l’intervalle, des États membres comme la Belgique ou le Danemark poursuivent leurs programmes nationaux.
Des études ont montré cependant que les lois sur la conservation des données n’ont eu aucun effet mesurable sur le taux de criminalité ou le taux d’élucidation des crimes dans aucun pays de l’UE. Les demandes de données de communication sont rarement infructueuses, même en l’absence d’une législation sur la conservation des données sans discernement.
Méthodologie et données à l’origine de la carte
Le gouvernement belge propose d’utiliser les infractions visées à l’article 90ter du Code d’instruction criminelle belge comme indicateur du concept non-défini légalement de “criminalité grave”. Les données relatives aux statistiques de la criminalité dans les différentes régions de Belgique au fil des ans sont accessibles au public; le chercheur les a extraites dans un tableau Excel (mis à disposition du public), où les crimes pertinents ont été pris en compte aussi précisément que possible, et les autres catégories écartées. Il a ensuite été calculé si les seuils étaient atteints pour les différents arrondissements (>3, >5 et >7 infractions pour 1000 habitants en moyenne pour les 3 dernières années, justifiant respectivement 6, 9 et 12 mois de conservation des données). Ce calcul donne une approximation du taux de crimes graves, et permet donc de cartographier les zones du territoire impactées par le régime “ciblé” de rétention des données tel que proposé. Tout le territoire est couvert; les chiffres sont-ils donc si élevés, ou bien sont-ce les seuils qui sont très bas?
Remarque : l’exposé des motifs de la proposition fournit des données pour deux zones : Bruxelles et Charleroi. Par rapport à celles-ci, les chiffres de criminalité de la carte réalisée par nos soins sont trop élevés d’environ 18% pour Bruxelles et trop bas d’environ 12% pour Charleroi. Ce manque de précision résulte de la mise en correspondance manuelle des données publiques avec les infractions visées à l’article 90ter; il ne nuit pas à la valeur ajoutée de ce exercice de cartographie, car les deux zones seraient toujours couvertes même si les données correspondaient exactement aux chiffres fournis dans la proposition. Il s’agit de la première cartographie publiquement disponible de l’impact de la proposition; s’il réfute les résultats de cet exercice, il appartient au gouvernement de contester les calculs et de nous fournir des chiffres plus précis.

“Targeted” Data Retention: Online map shows what the Belgian government wants to hide
The Belgian Parliament is set to vote in committee this Thursday 09/06/2022 on the new data retention proposal which includes an allegedly geographically “targeted” data retention scheme. With an interactive online map, Patrick Breyer MEP (Greens/EFA, Pirates) demonstrates that according to publicly-available data, this “targeted” data retention scheme will in truth cover the entire national territory and the whole population.
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that general and indiscriminate retention of information on every person’s calls and movements violates the fundamental right to respect for privacy. In May, Patrick Breyer MEP and the Belgian NGO Ligue des droits humains (LDH) submitted opinions on the Belgian draft law which claims to implement the ECJ rulings.
Online map: What geographically “targeted” data retention would look like according to the Belgian government’s plans. patrick-breyer.de/en/data-rete… The map will be accessible by Wednesday 8 June at approximately 9 a.m. CEST.

MEP Dr. Patrick Breyer (Pirate Party, Group Greens/European Free Alliance) warns:
“The Belgian bill is a dangerous precedent for a new generation of data retention laws. Data-addicted surveillance authorities are trying to circumvent the top court rulings on the illegality of blanket communications and location data collection. At first glance, the surveillance plans appear limited, but those who examine them closely realize that the intention of the law is to maintain full mass surveillance, contrary to the rulings of the EU Court of Justice.”
Opaque legislation – full surveillance
The Belgian MPs requested numerous times the government to disclose the percentage of the population or of the territory that would be covered by its proposal. Every time, the Justice Minister (Vincent van Quickenborne) claimed he does not know the figures; he invites the MPs to vote the law regardless, and wait a year to find out in the yearly transparency report how his legislative proposal actually impacts the Belgian population. It turns out that these claims to ignorance are false, because the thresholds chosen by the government to ‘activate’ data retention in the ‘targeted’ zones are set to make sure that the whole territory is covered. Indeed, MEP Breyer commissioned a researcher to do the mapping exercise himself, using public data about crime statistics. With the publication of this map, citizens and MPs can finally get a first rough impression of the impact of the law and realise that indeed, this ‘targeted’ form of data retention is not targeted at all. It is yet another form of blanket surveillance in disguise, which will without doubt be struck by the Courts in Belgium for the third time. An informed debate can perhaps finally be had in the Parliament, where the relevant committee is set this Thursday to vote on the proposal as a whole, in first reading.
Plans violate citizens’ rights
At the same time the European Commission is pitching ideas to Member States on how data retention can still be carried out massively while not crossing the red lines provided by the ECJ in its numerous rulings. One of such ideas is to use the ‘targeted’ approach to cover as much of the population as possible, which is precisely what the Belgian government tries to implement – hence the intervention of MEP, in the face of a Member State setting an example. In a legal opinion published in April, former ECJ judge Prof. Dr. iur. Vilenas Vadapalas states that targeting all areas with above-average crime rates would not be compatible with the values and case-law available. He underlines that there must be a “high” (not just above-average) incidence of serious crime in an area to justify the use of data retention.
According to our calculations, the Belgian average crime rate is of 11 serious offences per 1,000 inhabitants per three years. Compared to the national average, the proposed thresholds (3, 5 and 7) enabling data retention are thus far below the national average, and the proposal would hence even covers low-crime areas, in contradiction with the former ECJ judge’s opinion.
“Quick Freeze” approach a viable solution
However, regardless of what the threshold should be to satisfy the red lines provided by the ECJ, MEP Breyer is of the opinion that this approach itself is fundamentally misguided. Going down the rabbit hole of determining the ‘right’ threshold (or the ‘right’ size of areas to be monitored) also means affirming that it is okay for the government to carry out mass surveillance over its mostly innocent citizens. Instead, MEP Breyer urges the European legislators to find other means, more proportionate and less impacting of democracy and the fundamental rights of the people.
Such a proportionate solution would be the so-called “quick freeze” approach, as in discussion in Germany, meaning that relevant data is only preserved as soon as there is sufficient reason to do so. The German coalition agreement reads: “In view of the current legal uncertainty, the upcoming ruling of the European Court of Justice and the resulting security policy challenges, we will develop the regulations on data retention in such a way that data can be stored in a legally secure manner on an ad hoc basis and by judicial order.” The EU is waiting for the European Court of Justice to rule on the old German data retention law before deciding on whether to impose data retention throughout the EU. In the meantime, Member States such as Belgium or Denmark are proceeding with national schemes.
Studies found that data retention laws have had no measurable effect on the crime rate or the crime clearance rate in any EU country. Requests for communications data are rarely unsuccessful even in the absence of indiscriminate data retention legislation.
Methodology and data behind the map
The government proposes to use the offences under article 90ter of the Belgian “Code d’instruction criminelle” as a proxy for ‘serious crime’. The data about crime statistics in the different areas of Belgium over the years is publicly available; it was scraped and put into an excel sheet, where the relevant crimes were taken into account as accurately as possible, and the other categories discarded. It was then calculated whether the thresholds were met (3, 5 and 7 offences per 1000 inhabitants on average for the last 3 years warrant respectively 6, 9 and 12 months of data retention). This gives an approximation of the rate of serious crimes, and therefore allows us to map which zones of the territory fall under the ‘targeted’ scheme of data retention as proposed.
Note: the “exposé des motifs” of the proposal provide data about two zones: Brussels and Charleroi. Compared to those, our map’s crime figures are too high by about 18% for Brussels and too low by about 12% for Charleroi. This lack of accuracy results from the organic mapping of the relevant crimes under article 90ter, and it does not undermine the mapping, as both areas would still be covered even if the data were exactly congruent with the figures provided in the proposal. This remains the first publicly-available mapping of the impact of the proposal, and it is up to the government to challenge the calculations and provide us with more accurate figures.
