   * last, the Frontex. It's an unkown issue in the Czech republic therefore it seems really unnecessary in the common program; plus it's only a statement - it doesn't offer solution or way; and there was even an opinion that this statement without proof or explanation might seem falsely - and though we believe you what is Frontex like, we can't afford such baseless (in the program!) statements
+==== PP-CZ on Ensure Everyone's Privacy ====
+Please change the text in the following way:
+To preserve our historical heritage of freedom rights and to ensure the effectiveness of the security and law enforcement, we advocate that a public information collection, control and monitoring is in the future only targeted at people who are **actually** suspected of committing or preparing a crime, and is allowed and supervised by the judiciary power. To protect our open society and in the interest of an efficient security policy, we want to give up automated data collection, data storage and data matching. In a free Europe such a wide detection of many innocent people is unacceptable and harmful.

+To: "3. Remove excessive monitoring

+  * suspicionless, widespread retention of all telephone, cell phone, e-mail and Internet Connections

+  * the transfer of passenger and payment data to third countries such as the USA and generally, the delivery of personal data to countries without effective protection of fundamental rights

+**At the same time, we want to enforce:**
+  * **strict standards for any industrial systems automatically processing personal/private information (eg. "the Internet of things") - essentialy making those systems open source, publicly documented and peer-reviewed.**"
+PPCZ explanation: In the case of any industrial systems automaticaly processing personal information: One thing is right to opt-out (refuse them completely), which is a good option, but which can be found to be economically challenging for most of the population. We may also request introduction of certain general standards covering all kinds of similar automatical collection of personal data by industrial systems and consumer utilities - which is already known as "the Internet of things". Eg. when implementing smart meters technology, operators must simply grant, event to those, who will agree to use them, that the layer with access to technical data has no access to layer with access to personal data and no automatic asociation can be made (which may require such things as periodicaly dynamicaly assigning smart meter IDs). The technology was originally supposed to be targeted toward effective allocation of available energy resources in time, for example by micromanaging power utilities by distributing information about energy costs  - which could be implemented as anonymously, as eg. operation of traffic lights regulating road traffic, elevator controls, etc. One possible approach is to request open documentation (or open source programming) of every industrial system processing any kind of personalized information, so independent 3rd party audit of its function is possible.
+==== PP-CZ on European Data Protection Regulation With a High Level of Data Protection ====
+Add after the second paragraph:
+**"Even if a consent with personal data trading was expressed, the person affected by data trade must not be deprived from access to the summary of all data, which was passed to any third party involved. Metadata created as a side effect of using complex information systems should be considered to be personal data too. There must be also way to request list of such third parties, which were provided with these personal data, and supported method for filling such request must be comparable to method which was used for expressing consent in the first place (eg. online form when consent was expressed using online form and paper form, when consent was expressed by signature, etc.)."**
+PPCZ explanation: original proposal is too weak and would actually result just into adding  single checkbox, voicing user's consent with "automatic data processing", which is currently present in these services anyway. And this wouldn't prevent service providers from requiring this consent before providing any service, so it effectively will NOT result in ANY policy change from the side of current Big Data players, like Facebook or Google. One approach may require more traditional/bureaucratic form on consent, like signature and not just electronic interaction. More radical and perhaps also more effective and interesting approach would be to demand, that even if person voices consent with processing or trading of collected personal data, irrevocable mechanism simillar to perphaps "partial copyright on personal data" grants person right to request list of all 3rd parties, which were provided access to this personal data as a result of this consent (which would naturally result in not only advertisers, but also organisations like NSA appearing in these lists, if practices of service providers/Big Data players won't change after this year's event)
+Example of this is well-known case of Facebook, and information about number of people visiting one's profile. It is absolutely ok for Facebook to decide to not disclose this information to it's users: but once this information is traded with any third party (like advertisers, NSA, or so on), the users concerned must not be deprived from the right to know this information too. Another way to express this: Should user's metadata be processed by any third party, this processing becomes part of user's metadata, and as such, user must not be deprived the right to access such metadata.
+==== PP-FR on Unify Police Standard Procedures Towards more progressive ones ====
+About the paragraph "Unify Police Standard Procedures Towards more
+progressive ones"
+The first sentence ist really vague and we don't see any possibility to
+apply it concretly, because there is many way to understand it.
+Furthermore, this idea sound more as a "national theme" than a european
+one (until we have a european police...).

+Reasoning: The effect of patents on health and the price of medicine is an important point, and from our point of view it is worthy of a bit more emphasis. This is also an argument we often use when explaining the every day side effects of patents to ordinary people.
