lpv:translated text	". Τhe resolution recognises, as the Communist Party of Greece has denounced, that the European Union, which has proclaimed itself the guardian of fundamental rights, is allowing privacy to be blatantly violated by passing on sensitive personal data from its airlines to the USA. Similarly, it notes the violation of the law by the Commission and the national authorities, which have not yet set the legal procedures in motion to prevent airlines from passing on this information. It also calls for the Commission to withdraw the draft decision, which basically subjects the ΕU to the American claims which were presented a few months ago following consultations with the American side. In its conclusions, however, the resolution, instead of proposing a ban on any transmission of personal data, considers that there is a legislative gap and proposes that an agreement be concluded with the USA simply with less data, a shorter storage period and the right of persons whose data is on file to take action to correct information in their files. For the immediate future, it calls for passengers' consent to the transmission of 39 items of data. Any refusal would, of course, mean they would not be allowed to enter the USA. Irrespective of the intentions of its authors, it again proves that the European Parliament accepts the terms of the USA, like a deputy sheriff. For these reasons, the MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece abstained from the vote."@en1
