".
We have always expressed our opposition to the establishment of an agreement with the United States on the sharing of personal data, in relation either to PNR or to SWIFT.
This is firstly because the agreement forms part of a broad context of securitarian measures – note the programme of illegal phone tapping in the United States – on the basis of the so-called ‘fight against terrorism’, which has been a pretext for unleashing interference and aggression on countries and peoples when US imperialist interests have been at stake.
We are also opposed to this agreement because no valid guarantees are given that the citizens’ legitimate rights will be safeguarded by the implementation of the agreed rules governing personal data protection, including those defined by the EU itself. Furthermore, the effective monitoring of these agreements on the part of the national parliaments is not guaranteed.
There is no doubt that the seriousness of the current state of affairs would be minimised by the establishment of more specific measures, more effective methods of controlling the personal data to be transferred, limits on the use to which data can be put, information for the citizens, and the citizens being afforded access to their personal data. What is really needed, however, is an end to this securitarian onslaught, which, on the pretext of the so-called ‘fight against terrorism’, undermines the citizens’ rights, freedoms and guarantees."@en1
