Ireland's pick 🇮🇪🇪🇺 has been put forward for a crucial portfolio for us - that of justice and fundamental rights - although with McGrath's finance background, some in Brussels have seen this as a bit of a snub for the country.

It's a polished start for Commissioner-Designate McGrath as he says that his portfolio sits at the "core" of what the #EU stands for. He shows off his credentials as a national Parliamentarian and politician with 25 years of experience.
However, he's already talking about the importance of "competitiveness" - something that EDRi has worried was given too much prominence in McGrath's written answers to the Parliament. Competitiveness should not be the goal of the Justice and Rights Commissioner!
reshared this
A super hot topic 🔥: the #GDPR. McGrath hails the law as a "success", but the first MEP question from the EPP Group attacks this vital data protection law, asking McGrath how he plans to "overcome" (!) it!
Luckily McGrath doesn't take the bait, instead stating that "I do not believe that it [the GDPR] is contradictory to ... fostering and supporting innovation." 🥳 This is an important statement and push-back against the toxic political narrative that protecting people's rights is a 'barrier'!
Oblomov reshared this.
McGrath has repeated several times that he will use the whole "EU toolbox" to protect rule of law, including infringement procedures. It's been over 10 years since the CJEU invalidated the #DataRetentionDirective.
Yet national data retention laws transposing it are still in place in the majority of MS (!) This is against EU law. The EC never lifted a finger to address this rule of law crisis. Will McGrath have the necessary courage where so many before have wilfully failed to act?

Le Autorità Garanti per la protezione dei dati di 16 Paesi hanno reso nota una nuova dichiarazione congiunta conclusiva sul data scraping e la tutela della privacy. Si tratta di un documento più esteso rispetto alla precedente
like this
reshared this
L'Austriaco proposto come Commissario per gli Affari Interni e l'Immigrazione, comparirà in un'audizione organizzata dal Comitato per le Libertà Civili il 5 novembre. Ecco cosa ha detto durante l'audizione del 10 ottobre:
Accesso ai dati per scopi di applicazione della legge
DOMANDA: Come intende affrontare la sfida fondamentale di garantire un accesso efficace ai dati personali al fine di prevenire, rilevare, investigare e perseguire reati penali, rispettando al contempo i principi di necessità e proporzionalità e sostenendo i diritti alla privacy e alla protezione dei dati?
Quali garanzie prevede per garantire la piena conformità alle sentenze della Corte di giustizia europea sulla conservazione dei dati e l'accesso ai dati per scopi di applicazione della legge?
Affronterà anche la crittografia quando propone norme sull'accesso?
Come intende sbloccare la proposta sugli abusi sessuali sui minori online per garantire che il suo obiettivo principale di proteggere i bambini sia soddisfatto e che le preoccupazioni sulla salvaguardia del diritto alla privacy siano affrontate? Qualora non ci fosse un regolamento su questo fascicolo prima della scadenza della seconda proroga del regolamento provvisorio, prevista per il 3 aprile 2026, come intende procedere per evitare il vuoto legislativo?
Risposta: Se confermato, mi impegno a trovare un approccio equilibrato e giuridicamente valido per garantire un accesso efficace ai dati per le forze dell'ordine e la magistratura, rispettando al contempo la privacy e la protezione dei dati, nonché i requisiti di sicurezza informatica e tenendo conto degli aspetti tecnologici. L'UE deve costruire una solida economia digitale che i cittadini possano vedere come porterà prosperità, preserverà la sicurezza e proteggerà i diritti fondamentali. Allo stesso tempo, mentre la società e l'economia diventano digitali, lo fanno anche i criminali, i terroristi e gli altri attori della minaccia, al fine di perseguire attività criminali ed eludere le forze dell'ordine. Al fine di garantire che le autorità competenti siano dotate di capacità moderne e innovative per combattere la criminalità, consentire alle forze dell'ordine di avere un accesso proporzionato ai dati è fondamentale per collegare i crimini agli autori, supportare le indagini, proteggere le vittime e smantellare le reti criminali. Tuttavia, oggi, le barriere legali e tecniche, insieme alla mancanza di leggi armonizzate sulla conservazione dei dati negli Stati membri, ostacolano le indagini nazionali e complicano la cooperazione transfrontaliera. Nonostante queste sfide, sono convinto che possiamo trovare soluzioni efficienti e a prova di futuro per facilitare l'accesso legale alle informazioni digitali. Ciò è essenziale per proteggere i nostri cittadini e sostenere lo stato di diritto, nel pieno rispetto dei principi di necessità e proporzionalità.Allo stesso tempo, dobbiamo evitare di introdurre nuove vulnerabilità che possono essere sfruttate da attori malintenzionati o di mettere in discussione i vantaggi della crittografia. Dobbiamo trovare un equilibrio che ci consenta di salvaguardare la privacy, garantendo al contempo sicurezza e protezione dei nostri cittadini e delle nostre società dalle minacce in continua evoluzione.
Il gruppo di alto livello sull'accesso ai dati per le forze dell'ordine ha definito le esigenze operative delle forze dell'ordine e delle autorità giudiziarie e le raccomandazioni includono una serie di misure diverse, come il rafforzamento delle capacità, la cooperazione con l'industria, la standardizzazione e la legislazione. Dovrebbero costituire un prezioso contributo per il lavoro in quest'area, che richiede una valutazione d'impatto approfondita.La criminalità e l'insicurezza hanno un effetto soffocante sulla società e, se non affrontate correttamente, impediscono alle persone di esercitare le proprie libertà, di esprimere la propria opinione o di camminare per strada comodamente. Le minacce possono anche essere più dirette non solo offline, ma anche online. I bambini sono particolarmente a rischio e dobbiamo fare di più per proteggerli da molteplici rischi che vanno dal cyberbullismo alla sextortion, dalle dipendenze online alla radicalizzazione. Sono convinto della necessità e dell'urgenza di adottare il regolamento proposto per prevenire e combattere l'abuso sessuale sui minori online. Nel 2010, sono state segnalate circa 1 milione di segnalazioni di materiale di abuso sessuale sui minori e di adescamento online. Entro il 2023, sono state segnalate più di 36 milioni. L'attuale regolamento "provvisorio", che consente il rilevamento volontario di abusi sessuali su minori da parte dei fornitori di determinate piattaforme online, scadrà nell'aprile 2026. Senza le norme a lungo termine proposte, tale forma di rilevamento che ha contribuito a salvare i bambini e a identificare i trasgressori per oltre 10 anni sarà vietata nell'UE. Credo che possiamo e dovremmo trovare un modo fattibile per finalizzare i negoziati sul regolamento in sospeso affinché entri in vigore in tempo prima della scadenza del regolamento provvisorio.
Se confermato, mi impegno a lavorare anche per finalizzare i negoziati sulla revisione della direttiva sulla lotta all'abuso sessuale sui minori. La direttiva integra il regolamento e fornisce uno standard comune per le indagini e le azioni penali, armonizzando le definizioni di reati e sanzioni. È una parte essenziale dell'equilibrio che la nostra società esige dal mondo digitale.

Nel suo libro "The Tech Coup: How to Save Democracy from Silicon Valley", Marietje Schaake evidenzia il potere incontrollato delle aziende tecnologiche e il loro impatto sulla democrazia, sostituendosi spesso ai governi e minacciando il principio di legalità democratica (vedasi l'uso di spyware come Pegasus o operazioni offensive nel cyberspazio).
La mancanza di responsabilità e controlli permette loro di agire senza limiti. Schaake propone di applicare le stesse regole di trasparenza e responsabilità pubblica anche nel mondo digitale.
Anche perché, le aziende che lavorano per il governo dovrebbero essere soggette a responsabilità legali, e la trasparenza nell'uso dei data center è cruciale per una governance efficace.

in reply to EDRi • • •If confirmed, Brunner would lead DG HOME, the Commission unit that'll propose laws on data retention, encryption & other surveillance issues.
In short, the topics most relevant to EDRi's mission to stop discriminatory & arbitrary #StateSurveillance will fall to him!
As Commissioner, he would have the opportunity to ensure that #AIAct implementation follows international human rights standards for people at EU borders, and to protect encryption from chat control or the #GoingDark group.
Samuel reshared this.
EDRi
in reply to EDRi • • •Brunner's opening is a practiced exercise in balance & euphemism. He puts forward a "firm" approach to migration & "returns", and sets his top priority as developing an EU Internal Security Strategy. He's open to "new ideas" for the Migration Pact (EU-speak for externalisation).
He simultaneously posits himself as a champion of rights: "We must manage our border the #EuropeanWay, in full compliance with fundamental rights". BUT...

in reply to EDRi • • •EDRi
in reply to EDRi • • •🚨 Policing the net: the MEP grilling kicks off with the Conservatives asking about organised crime.
Brunner points to the recommendations of an EU police group called #GoingDark (which has been strongly criticised by EDRi). Despite a nod to the importance of upholding CJEU case law, he makes a deeply worrying comment about obliging companies to break online anonymity. We'll be watching with concern 👀

in reply to EDRi • • •Better regulation: it's good to see Greens MEP Saskia Bricmont challenge the Commission's systemic failure to fulfill their own 'better regulation' commitments for Home Affairs laws, e.g. no Impact Assessments for the Facilitators package.
But worryingly, Brunner says this will not be possible in all cases, and that he cannot make such a commitment to future Impact Assessments.
EDRi
in reply to EDRi • • •Europol: Bricmont also rightfully points out that the Commission still has not delivered the evaluation of #Europol's 2016 reform - 2 years after the deadline. When can we expect it then, she asks? Brunner remains silent, declining to commit that procedural problems would be rectified.
Meanwhile the Commission has since put forward two (!) mandate reforms massively expanding Europol's powers, rubber-stamping the agency's rogue data handling & without solid evidence.
EDRi
in reply to EDRi • • •Privacy: 2+ hrs into the hearing, protecting #encryption, #privacy & stopping #spyware are finally raised, thanks to S&D's Kaljurand. But Brunner's response pits safety against privacy - a common trope of the outgoing Commissioner.
What's more, despite an outright ask for him to commit to protecting #E2EEncryption, Brunner skirts the question. A silver lining? He compliments the Parliament's position on the #CSAReg, which rejected the Commission's mass surveillance and encryption-breaking plans
EDRi
in reply to EDRi • • •"Migrant smuggling": Brunner calls for new partnerships w/ 3rd countries, and support for law enforcement & Europol.
In line with the Commission proposal currently on the table, that would mean even more #biometric data processing & exchange, without reinforced supervision.
EDRi
