Extract

We have arrived at a situation in which policymakers and ethicists are considering abandoning informed consent in the governance of certain new technologies, many of which are related to large-scale information systems. A paradigm case is the problem with using individuals’ informed consent to regulate biobanks. As sometimes suggested, there is a need for “new ethical frameworks.”

Here I should also mention that the principles established by the EU Data Protection Directive have not been valid for police and security issues, i.e., the so-called third pillar of the European Union, now removed by the Lisbon Treaty. Nevertheless, the directive remained the golden standard for this area; see De Hert, P, Papakonstantinou, V.The data protection framework decision of 27 November 2008 regarding police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters—A modest achievement however not the improvement some have hoped for.
