lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner Frattini, you did not beat about the bush when you made your commitment to the negotiations known. Full compliance with the fundamental rights, including privacy, there is no room for any misunderstanding here, and we will keep you to this pledge. There is, then, little point in 780 MEPs sitting where the negotiators should be; it would not work. That does, however, mean that the Council must be ambitious in its negotiations, instead of – as I now hear them doing – mainly weighing up the hazards it might meet with along the way. We assume, however, that your commitment to the negotiations is as firm as Commissioner Frattini's, because we will hold you to that as well. This is about SWIFT now, and SWIFT not being a bank should not be a licence not to take privacy rules seriously or not to comply with them. The inquiry you mounted, Commissioner Frattini, is to be welcomed, but you will need to take legal measures promptly in order to fill the vacuum, because data exchange at SWIFT should also be able to stand the test of European privacy rules. The fight against terror must also be able to look into financial transactions in this framework, because this may well lead to terrorist organisations. Something that has struck me is that many citizens have much sympathy for the difficult dilemmas we face in this context. We cannot resolve this overnight. I am, for example, quite shocked by the fact that there has not been more of a fuss made about the rules on liquids in aircraft. We should not seize this as an excuse, though. Tough negotiations are needed. The suggestion mooted by Mr Radwan to place this in a wider G7 context is something I am happy to endorse."@en1
