Rapport Commissie Brouwer: 'Gewoon doen' - Ngfg

At the request of the principals, the opinion discusses two topical issues. The opinion makes
two marginal comments using the reference framework:
- number-plate recognition cameras;
- registration of ethnicity/religion in crime-fighting and deradicalisation policy.
THE CLOAKROOM
The opinion also contains a number of recommendations spread throughout the text:
- Government campaigns like ‘We are working on your security’ should be
supplemented by adding ‘and your privacy’;
- Investigate how development and establishment of privacy protection systems and
standardisation and certification can contribute to building a bridge between what
happens in practice and regulation in the field of security and privacy;
- Within government, ensure that there is sufficient expertise so that when systems are
developed (or this is put out to tender), the interests of security are adequately taken
into account;
- Ensure that in cases where government asks citizens for data, these citizens know that
it is government that is asking for this information, even when the data reaches the
government through private organisations; for example, this is important for air travel
data: airlines collect passenger data to satisfy obligations imposed on them by
government. It must be clear to citizens whether an obligation has been imposed by
government, and it is government’s job to make that clear.
