"The Moderate Party delegation has opted to abstain from voting on the above matter.
The fight against terrorism and the protection of privacy are not opposed to each other. A far-reaching, effective fight against terrorism requires respect for fundamental rights.
The United States’ requirements have put airlines in an impossible situation, as the requirements infringe EU privacy protection, or obstruct air transport. The Commission has tried in an exemplary way to find a solution. We do not, therefore, support the resolution’s call for the Commission to withdraw the draft. The draft improves the present situation, but still has serious shortcomings.
The data-protection commissioners in the Member States and the EU, the Article 29 Committee, point out the worrying lack of data protection. The draft necessitates a thorough legal revision, and consequently we support an examination by the Court of Justice of the European Communities. A prompt changeover from the ‘pull’ to the ‘push’ system is necessary in order to remedy the lack of data protection. Preconditions for a satisfactory agreement are that passengers be guaranteed information on which data is transferred to the US authorities, and that passengers have the option in practice of giving voluntary consent to such a transfer of personal and economic data, and to inspect the data recorded."@en1
