Reactie consultatie Nota van wijziging Tijdelijke Cyberwet AIVD en MIVD - Bert Hubert's writings
2 days ago
- The proposed amendment to the Temporary Cyber Law is overly complex and unclear, causing confusion even among experienced professionals and the Council of State.
- The lack of clarity may allow service heads to approve certain requests themselves, bypassing proper review by the Toetsingscommissie.
- The Council of State warned that the increased complexity may hinder the intended operational speed and agility.
- Clear communication is a fundamental requirement for democracy, and the amendment fails to meet this standard.
- The author advocates abandoning the amendment and instead prioritizing the announced major overhaul of the Wiv law.
- Interim measures proposed include extending the bulk data assessment period to 5 years, expanding cross-referencing under article 54, addressing the 'dumb tap' issue, and streamlining the request process.
