Recommendation
Given the severe infringement on the right to privacy posed by the imposition of electronic monitoring, the threshold test for electronic monitoring should be one of “necessity and proportionality”, not whether it is “appropriate”. Clause 52 should be amended accordingly. (See Amendment 18, Annex). (Recommendation, Paragraph 162)
