As a reminder , this directive asked to retain for 6 months (expenses paid by the operators ) any telecommunication data, including and not limited also to internet data.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Now the romanian government decided to have a more open approach , and are asking for input from civil society. We have 2-3 weeks to make an answer that is compliant to the Directive AND to the Constitutional court decision.</div><div><br></div><div>We would be happy to take on our side input from other chapters, Isoc ECC, Isoc HQ and European Bureau.<br></div><div><br></div><div>. As it is unlikey that in Romania other organisations
will respond , we see this as an opportunity for ISOC , especially in preparation for the Inet in Bucharest but also to mark a point and help to change this unuseful directive into a more citzien-oriented one. It's gonna be our first public policy-making position, so we want to be as accurate as possible.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Eduard Tric</div><div><br></div><div>References :</div><div>http://www.mcsi.ro/Transparenta-decizionala</div><div>http://www.mcsi.ro/Transparenta-decizionala/24/ProiectRetinereaDatelor</div><div>http://www.mcsi.ro/Transparenta-decizionala/24/ExpunereMotive</div><div>Eu Directive <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>
