".
Mr President, I would like to speak briefly on the visa-information system. It is undoubtedly something we need. At the same time, I must say that I still have several concerns about the actual structure of the VIS.
These concerns relate primarily to the extensive introduction of biometrics. We still have no specific impact assessment, and it is totally unclear whether it is even administratively possible to handle such large volumes of data. That, however, has crucial implications for data security and, above all, for the fundamental rights of every single registered person.
I also envisage problems with regard to the access of security authorities to the VIS in the framework of police and judicial cooperation, for there is still no appropriate harmonised mechanism for the protection of data within the third pillar.
In my view, the draft that has now been presented by the German Presidency of the Council is a far cry from the text that was originally approved by Parliament in September 2006, and it falls far short of the level of data protection applicable to activities within the first pillar. For these reasons I cannot support the regulation or the decision in their present form, and I shall abstain from voting.
Let me conclude by thanking all of the rapporteurs for the cooperative spirit in which they went about their work."@en1
