The report before us poses such a vast array of questions that it would be impossible to cover everything in this short explanation of vote. Nonetheless, while I do not agree with the thrust of some premises and proposals contained therein, the report deserves praise for the criticisms it makes of the current repression of rights and of safeguards of privacy and the protection of personal data – as a consequence of measures adopted in certain countries under the pretext of the ‘fight against terrorism’ – which are undermining fundamental rights and freedoms.
I should like to highlight criticism in the report of the agreement being negotiated between the EU and the USA concerning the transfer of transatlantic passengers’ personal data, which it deems illegal. The report also criticises the attitude of the Commission and of some Member States ‘to connive at this violation of the law and the principle of legality’. As a result, personal data are, without informing and obtaining the consent of the data subject, transferred or accessed directly or systematically by a third party. I should also like to point out the need for effective monitoring of Europol and Eurojust, the concern with strengthening SIS and with projects to extend the capacities and competences to SIS II and the anxiety regarding the development of the use of personal biometric data."@en1
