"Mr President, I would like to start by thanking Mr von Boetticher for his work and also the Members who spoke after him. I would like to thank the rapporteur for what has been gained through Parliament’s work, although we do feel that an essential element, democratic control, is missing. Once again, we are being forced to agree to providing Community funding, as Mr Marinho said, in order to be able to have a say as well. However, we feel that the European Council is continuing to do an appalling job, which, moreover, consists both of greatly increasing the number of databanks, and of greatly increasing the amount of data. We know that, in addition to SIS, there are the – albeit revised – Europol and Eurodac databanks etc., and the latest addition will be the databank containing the index of criminal records used by Eurojust. Hitherto, SIS has been a huge collection of information and notes on people and objects: it contains data entered by each Member State according to different laws and criteria which has been accessible to users at different levels of responsibility. Among the errors which may have already been made, consider the case of the US citizen arrested in Belgium because he had lost his passport whom SIS recorded as a passport thief. Reference has been made to the events in Genoa: thousands of people had been recorded in SIS after the incidents in Gothenburg, but this was of no benefit to the Italian police. Basically, our view is that there will not only be more States entering data in this bank but also, essentially, more data. Lastly, we do not believe that total control is compatible with the rule of law, as has been maintained."@en1
