Press. The Danish daily Politiken

Press. The Danish daily Politiken has a story - Datatilsyn lukker netliste - today (31 October 2002) on a decision by the Danish Data Protection Agency to order the closing down of the web-site Tropetræ (Tropical Tree). The web-site is not accessible at the time this posting was uploaded. Tropetræ contains a list over Danish companies that according to the web-site do not comply with an international environmental standard for the protecting of trees from the rain forest. In the article I am quoted for saying this (in Danish):

»I forvejen er virksomhedernes beskyttelse i persondataloven om advarselsregistre en undtagelse til hovedreglen. Virksomheden skal virkelig være fremstillet på en meget useriøs måde, hvis hjemmesiden skal lukkes«, siger advokaten, som i øvrigt mener, at hensynet til at gennemskueligheden for forbrugerne må være vigtigere end hensynet til den enkelte virksomhed - så længe advarselsregistret er baseret på korrekte oplysninger.
