L’avocat général va plus loin et considère que « l’accès dont disposent les services de renseignement américains aux données transférées est constitutif d’une ingérence dans le droit au respect de la vie privée ».
Selon lui, cette ingérence est contraire au principe de proportionnalité. Surtout, Yves Bot juge « invalide » l’accord de protection des données personnelles baptisé « Safe Harbour », établi entre la Commission européenne et les Etats-Unis depuis 2000. Selon lui, les données personnelles des Européens sont collectées par les Etats-Unis, « à large échelle », et « sans que (les citoyens de l’UE) bénéficient d’une protection juridictionnelle effective ».
« La surveillance exercée par les services de renseignement américains est massive et non ciblée », ce qui s’apparente à une violation des droits fondamentaux en Europe, assène l’avocat général de la Cour de justice.

I think GCHQ was doing half theater and half genuine threat response here. The likelihood that The Guardian had anything hidden in the trackpad was low, but from GCHQ’s perspective they’d hide something in the trackpad so why wouldn’t anyone else?
