E-government and privacy 

Within e-government a development towards the establishment of an information infrastructure is taking shape. For this infrastructure to function properly it is essential that citizens have trust in it. The protection of personal data therefore deserves attention on the infrastructural level. The crux is to find a balance between privacy and other interests within legal boundaries. Building in privacy afterwards turns out to be really difficult, and therefore it should be taken into account from the very beginning. Privacy by design is the motto.
