lpv:translated text	"The Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats is working towards consistent compliance with the and all the documents that uphold the values of European civilisation and protect the freedom and personal integrity of each individual. We are opposed to any unlawful conduct which restricts such freedoms and works against the individual. We recognise, however, that protecting peace and security also imposes certain constraints. For this reason we believe that any intrusion into personal privacy should be kept to a minimum and be conducted on a legal basis. On the basis of the documents that are available to us, there is a well-founded suspicion that access to the data held in the SWIFT System could represent an illegal intrusion into personal privacy. So, please allow me to put to you the following questions: First, I would like a detailed answer as to which data held in the SWIFT System are available to the US authorities and which data are they entitled to access on that basis? Second, do the US authorities have access to all the transactions carried out in SWIFT branches in the USA, and can they, through these or other SWIFT branches, also gain access to transactions carried out outside the USA? Third, I would like to ask the Commission, the Council and the European Personal Data Ombudsman whether accessing the data held in the SWIFT System represents a violation of the provisions on data protection and, consequently, an illegal intrusion into personal privacy. Fourth, at the October hearing we did not get any convincing or sufficiently clear answers on the competence of institutions with respect to SWIFT. So I would like to ask who is actually competent to rule on the SWIFT issue and on what legal basis? And fifth, I am interested in the principles underpinning our negotiating platform with the USA on these issues and whether, within that framework, we will also learn how the US authorities make use of the data obtained and what dangers are involved in data leaks and abuses. Mr Coelho will address the PNR issue. Thank you."@en1
