Well, the ECHR is (for all EU members), and has a similar clause:

> Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence.

unfortunately it also has exemptions for anything a government could reasonably use as justification to restrict this right:

> There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.

If government can strip it at will and I think it is formulated as such, the right doesn't exist and it isn't more than nice window dressing.
