Meeting Of European Net Activists: Towards a European Privacy and Cyberrights Union

Speakers: Sebastian , Andy Müller-Maguhn

Language: english

Where: Saal 2

When: Day 3, 10:00

Duration: 03:00h

Description

Recent developments such as the Cyber-crime convention and the EU initiatives for data retention have shown the need for a European organization for the protection of human ("cyber") rights in the information age. Additionally, this organization should be able to represent all interested national privacy organizations in Europe, since there often is only limited space in public hearings of the EU.

This workshop is intended to focus efforts of the different groups working on a European organization. The goal is to agree on a legal framework and to arrange a timetable and work packages for the prompt implementation of such an organization.

If you have already formulated a mission statement, a framework or other discussion paper, please e-mail it to sebastian@ccc.de. We will make the material available prior to the workshop and use it for discussions.
