must
admittedly
be
left
a
domestic
discretion
and
the
scope
of
this
discretion
is
admittedly
not
identical
in
respect
of
each
of
the
aims
enumerated
in
Articles
8
and
10
(
art
.
8
,
art
.
10
)
,
but
the
right
to
respect
for
private
life
against
spying
by
executive
authorities
comes
within
the
most
exacting
category
of
Convention
rights
and
hence
entails
a
certain
restriction
on
this
domestic
"
discretion
"
and
on
the
margin
of
appreciation
.
In
this
sphere
(
more
than
in
the
sphere
of
morality
-
cf
.
the
Handyside
judgment
)
,
it
can
be
maintained
that
it
is
possible
,
whilst
still
taking
account
of
the
circumstances
resulting
from
the
threat
posed
to
democratic
societies
by
terrorism
,
to
identify
European
standards
of
State
conduct
in
relation
to
surveillance
of
citizens
.
The
shared
characteristics
of
statutory
texts
or
draft
legislation
on
data
banks
and
interception
of
communications
is
evidence
of
this
awareness
