31.12.2009: Bulgarien nimmt 2. Anlauf zur Vorratsdatenspeicherung

Seit dem 11. Dezember 2008 galt in Bulgarien die komplette Erfassung der Verbindungsdaten aller Bürger als unerlaubter Eingriff in die Privatsphäre. Ein bulgarisches Gericht hatte die Vorratsdatenspeicherung als verfassungswidrig festgestellt.

Nun macht die Regierung auf Druck der EU einen 2. Anlauf. Die erste Lesung des Electronic Communications Act (ECA) fand am 22.12.2009 im bulgarischen Parlament statt.

The amendments contain several parts that have drawn heavy criticism by non-governmental organisations and privacy advocates.

Central to the amendments was a provision to would give the Operative-Technical Information Directorate (OTID) of the Interior Ministry permanent, direct access to the stored communication data of mobile phone and internet operators.

A second part of the amendments that has drawn criticism, lowered the bar for crimes for which the access to stored information could be used from five to two years, including crimes that the Bulgarian Penal Code classifies as minor.

According to Dimitrov, there was no other country in the European Union where police had such complete and direct access to communication of citizens.
