When we assess the information items, we do so in order to determine whether the proposals can be justified in terms of privacy. Frankly, we do not really ask ourselves if more information could be exchanged. We have before us a proposal from the government that, relatively speaking, limits the number of items of information to be gathered and exchanged. Our role is to ask whether that goes too far, or whether gathering that information is justified. We did not ask ourselves the question you suggest.
