The protection of integrity as a top priority

In July 2009, Sweden will take over the presidency of the EU. The daily calls on the government to use this period to promote tighter data protection laws, arguing that these are being undermined by EU laws like the law on the storage of private e-mails. "The government's priorities during its presidency are more or less fixed, but that shouldn't prevent it from adding another point to the agenda: the bolstering of personal integrity," the newspaper writes, adding: "Energy and climate protection, work and growth, demography and migration - for the EU these are all central issues to guarantee its future and prosperity, but without the right to privacy, the lives of EU citizens will become impoverished. [During its last EU presidency] Sweden did pioneering work for more openness in Europe. This time the top priority is to stress the protection of personal integrity."
