"I voted in favour of the SWIFT agreement, because I think that exchanges of data are useful. Our respective secret services have cited various cases which prove this usefulness. The terrorist threat does exist, that cannot be denied, and the attempted attack in Detroit last month confirms that. We must therefore demonstrate that we are responsible. It is a question of mutual assistance. This agreement must not be interpreted as a unilateral commitment on the part of the EU. The Union will grant access to its information but, in exchange, the US authorities will analyse those data, which we cannot do in Europe at present, as there is no European programme to fight terrorist financing equivalent to the TFTP. This agreement safeguards our security, not just security on US territory. Finally, this is a real international agreement, unlike the previous unilateral commitments. The guarantees will be binding, the application of the agreement will be subject to evaluation and, if the EU considers that these guarantees are not being respected, the agreement contains clear provision for the parties to be able to terminate it."@en1
