Nur 15 EU-Staaten haben Kontrollbehörden für Geheimdienste, obwohl die Datenschutzkonvention unabhängige Aufsicht vorschreibt. Das erschwert die Kontrolle von Staatstrojanern, kritisiert der niederländische Kontrolleur im EU-Parlament. PEGA
Good morning, everybody. Welcome to the continuation of our take up meeting, which we ended last evening. The first item for discussion today is an exchange of views with Mr. Nico van Eijk, who is the Chair of the Review Committee on the Intelligence and Security Services or in Dutch the Commissie van Toezicht op de Inlichtingen- en Veiligheidsdiensten, CTIVD. I would like to thank Mr.
In a public memo, the two independent oversight bodies of the Netherlands have described why Convention 108 is so important for overseeing the national security domain. Let me give you an illustration of its relevance. Convention 108 is fully applicable to the national security domain. This means that national security regulations must comply with it.
Then Convention 108 deals with the protection of privacy and fundamental rights. But we see that the abuse of spyware has, I think, its biggest risk probably is for democracy. If we see how dissent, criticism, opposition is being oppressed and spyware is used as a tool for the oppression, but also manipulation of elections.
Convention 108 is also very clear on the fact that oversight needs to be effective. And oversight is a profession, it’s not an excuse.
This is typically a domain where oversight needs to be able to be part of a living instrument system. So we need to be honest on the fact that we cannot find all the definitions, which means we often have to look more into a capable toolbox which can be applied to things that we have never thought of, that they would happen. If the plumber comes to you and he has a wrench ten and a wrench 12 and you have a pipe that needs wrench 14. Then he could go home and try to order a wrench 14.
My own oversight body is very much working on creating a good environment of compliance, so that, you know, that if there are things that are more intrusive, that they are also dealt with as being more intrusive. And that’s also why it’s a permanent task because awareness is not something that comes and stays, something where, in dialogue, you need to be permanently available for further discussion and explanation.
So how do you see that in the context of the executive order? And do you see if there is in terms of oversight, whether there is a difference between countries or member states of the EU using self-developed technology like we see also in some member states and who are not reliant on commercial spyware if they want to use these capabilities and those member states who are solely reliant on external access for getting the same results.Thank you.
In in the Dutch case, we recently published a report on OSINT open-source activities, which nowadays also require very highly sophisticated tools. Open source is not about reading the newspaper anymore or a telephone guide. It’s about very, very highly developed tools which can access enormous amounts of database at the same time, sometimes specialized private databases.
So best practices for me is in particular looking at what has technology already to offer and what might the future have to offer. It’s thanks to my staff that I get informed, but I think I can understand it still, although people might think that I’m a little bit old, but it’s a thing that I’m very much interested in. Technology is just moving very rapidly. We cannot predict things.
