lpv:spoken text	". Mr President, I should like to clarify that, by way of this report, we recommend that the European Parliament reject the agreement on the transfer of passenger data between the EU and Canada. That does not mean that the agreement cannot go ahead, even if we vote against it, because we are only being here. You may recall that the European Parliament last year rejected a similar agreement with the United States on grounds of both substance and procedure. The agreement was signed nevertheless and this House subsequently took the Commission and the Council to court. The case is pending and a court ruling is expected by the end of this year. I need to underline that the agreement with Canada is much better in substance. We recognise that a good deal has been negotiated by the Commission. However, the Commission chose the identical procedure as it did in the case of the agreement with the United States. Both the European Parliament and the national parliaments are effectively being sidelined. The Commission should have chosen the assent procedure instead. The Committee on Legal Affairs unanimously endorsed the view that the Commission has chosen the wrong legal base. If Parliament were to accept this procedure now, it would basically undermine the pending court case. I reiterate, by voting for this report, the Council can still go ahead with the agreement. In other words, rejection by the European Parliament does not in any way jeopardise the agreement but, at the same time, Parliament remains coherent with its earlier positions and will not undermine the court case. Therefore, I kindly ask you to vote for this report."@en1
