[Chapter-delegates] Isoc , Eu Directive on data retention and Romanian Law request for comments

[Eduard Tric]

As you probably know , the Romanian Constitutional Court has declared in 2009  Unconstitional the Romanian  transposition of the Eu Directive on Data retention (romanian law 298/2008). 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.


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.

We would be  happy to take on our side input from other chapters, Isoc ECC,  Isoc HQ and European Bureau.


. 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.


Regards,
Eduard Tric
