"In the Court's view, the strong consensus existing among the Contracting States in this respect is of considerable importance and narrows the margin of appreciation left to the respondent State in the assessment of the permissible limits of the interference with private life in this sphere. The Court considers that any State claiming a pioneer role in the development of new technologies bears special responsibility for striking the right balance in this regard." (para. 112)
"Yet this is simply one victory in a much larger war against a Government which refuses to recognise the limits of the state's role in our private lives. Ministers show no sign of relenting in their efforts to foist costly and intrusive ID cards on us... This Government has proved itself again and again to lack any understanding of either the acceptable boundaries of official intervention in our personal lives or the overwhelming necessity to safeguard the public's private data. With yesterday's judgment the juggernaut has been slowed, but not stopped. The campaign to protect our civil liberties goes on."
