Call for Action – Safeguard Communications Privacy:
- President Bush has asked the head of the European Union to
amend privacy laws in Europe so as to allow law enforcement
access to records of personal communications - The proposal is contrary to international human rights norms
and has been rejected by European Privacy Commissioners and
by Members of the European Parliament - The proposal also adversely impacts the privacy interests
of US citizens
- US and European groups are asked to endorse the letter to
EU President Guy Verhofstadt expressing respectful but
firm opposition to proposal - To endorse: send name of organization and URL, email and fax
for contact person to eu_letter@epic.org.
