The conference “Freedom AND Security. Killing the zero sum process” kicked off yesterday at EUROPOL’s headquarters.
Catherine De Bolle, Europol Executive Director: “We don’t have to choose freedom or security. There is no need to compromise on individual privacy for the sake of public security. In the fulfilment of our mandate, Europol is working to increase the synergies between these two fundamental rights”. “We want and need to be innovative in implementing privacy by design. We need to continue the discussion between law enforcement, the private sector and the academic world”.
