lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we have learned from investigative journalists that, for the purposes of combating the funding of terrorism, the American authorities have apparently put in place a programme for intercepting the financial transactions handled by the SWIFT bank. This has been confirmed by President Bush and by SWIFT itself. Data protection is not an obstacle to the work of the police authorities. Rather, it is there to guarantee respect for fundamental rights. Clearly, European countries were not informed of these activities, but – as you said, Mr Frattini – the European Central Bank would have known about them. The European Central Bank is a European institution. It has to comply with data protection legislation, and that is why we want the European Data Protection Supervisor to check without delay that the European Central Bank has respected the laws. Finally, we must make sure that there is no gap in the legislation on the protection of personal data. Even if we still do not have a European document regulating data protection within the framework of police activities, existing legislation requires respect for national legislation in the case of any exchange of data provided for in the context of public security. Such exchanges must, moreover, be authorised by the Member States. I would also draw the attention of the Council, Mrs Lehtomäki and the Commission to Amendments 26 and 58 of my report on data protection under the third pillar. These are designed to regulate the way in which data is handled when it is collected by private parties in the public interest, and it is in that activity that the problem lies, I believe."@en1
