"The fight against terrorism is crucial to our security and has our full support. The work in combating terrorism must be carried out globally and be preventive, but the fight must always be weighed up against respect for the privacy of individuals.
Today, the European Parliament has been voting on an agreement between the EU and the United States relating to the surrendering of data selected on no clear basis from commercial passenger lists, for forwarding to the US Bureau of Customs and Border Protection.
Amongst other things, we take issue with the amount of PNR (Passenger Name Record) data to which the USA wants access, the number of bodies that have access to these, the intended use of the data, the absence of the option of appeal for those refused entry to the United States on account of PNR data, and the United States having direct access to the data without needing to request it.
There is currently no legal basis in the EU that permits the use of PNR commercial data for protecting public security. Therefore, we propose instead that a real international agreement between the EU and the United States be drawn up that clearly stipulates purpose, data, guarantees and responsibilities.
The agreement in its current form threatens to eliminate the rule of law. Therefore, we support the report by Mrs Boogerd-Quaak and are voting against this agreement with the United States."@en1
