lpv:translated text	"I should like to begin by saying that I see the United States of America not as an enemy but as a friend and partner in shared fights. Of course, in our shared fights we must pay particular attention to combating terrorism, but it is also important to mention that, in some of these fights, the US Administration has at times gone too far, both at internal and international levels, and I am chairing a European parliamentary committee to look into some of these excesses on the international stage. It should also be noted that the US Congress has undergone a shift of balance, which has led the US Administration to pull back from implementing some of its more controversial plans at internal level, and I hope that this will have an effect at external level, too. This, to my mind, means that the USA is clawing back its good record of placing the emphasis on civil liberties, which is a good thing. Mr Frattini has reminded us that the demands of security must not undermine the values of essential freedoms and in particular data protection, and Mr Cavada rightly pointed out that the amount of data requested is excessive. Does Parliament want to know what data is involved? Who can have access to it? How can we ensure that objectives are limited and that data are not used for other purposes? With whom can they be shared? For what length of time can they be kept? Then there is the issue of the push system, as mentioned by previous speakers, and the question of people’s rights to appeal in the event of the misuse of their personal data. Previous speakers have said that, if we in Europe offer US citizens the same level of personal data protection that we offer European citizens under the principle of reciprocity, we are legitimately entitled to claim the same, namely that European citizens in the USA should enjoy the same level of data protection as that offered to US citizens."@en1
