A question from Tom via Twitter: “Do you think our privacy and more generally our fundamental rights as EU citizens are at risk with growing mass surveillance by the US and other governments?”

Answer from Jérémie Zimmermann, spokesperson and co-founder of Quadrature du Net, a non-profit association defending the rights and freedoms of citizens on the Internet :
“Part of the answer, in order to try to protect our privacy, obviously implies policies and the establishment of legislation protecting citizens. But that is not all. We also need to ask the question of what relationship we have with technology today.”

“Who has physical access to our data and to our personal communications? This is a fundamental question. Because of this freedom, of this fundamental right to privacy protection arise other freedoms. For example, if you know you are being watched constantly, you are not going to express the same way, you can not tell what you know about your boss or your government, you will self-censor.”

“What we saw with the PRISM revelations is that Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, it’s all the same: it means universal access for US intelligence. Access to our personal data and to the content of our communications. This should make us ask important questions about the nature of the architecture of our communication infrastructure: Who do we trust and why? And especially what will happen to that data in 5, 10 or 20 years’ time. What damage could be done to you using this access to your data?”

These issues are being raised in the European Parliament which is preparing a new regulation on the protection of personal data. This is a unique opportunity for MEPs to put new tools into the hands of citizens. In order to enable them to regain control of their personal data, to regain control from these US web giants.”

http://www.euronews.com/ In this edition of Utalk Leah from Paris asks, “I want to know what Europe Day is on May 9 and what is the purpose and role of the Europe Direct information centres, thank you for your response.”

Hédia Nasraoui, Director, Europe Direct Information Centre of Picardy (France) and Head of the Europe Direct Information Centre, Picardy (France) responds, “May 9 is the anniversary of when the idea for the EU were first put forward, it is the day when everyone in the bloc celebrates the declaration of Robert Schuman. The declaration gave substance to the launch and subsequent building of the EU.

‘The declaration of Robert Shuman said that a united Europe, one entity would not happen at once, it would be done step by step and by solidarity.

‘Each country celebrates May 9 through events that bring together young and old Europeans, and through events which are festive but also educational which explain what the EU is, how it works today.

‘The aims of Europe Direct are to moderate these debates, to inform the public, and to be close to the lives of all our citizens, to celebrate this anniversary which was started and launched in 1985 by the Heads of State and Government.

‘The Europe Direct centres are official centres of information of the European Union, there are nearly 500 in the 27 Member States. Their main aim is to bring Europe closer to its citizens.”
