"According to many fellow Members, the Council has made a mistake in ignoring the European Parliament during the current negotiations on the agreement with the USA. The speech made by the Chair of my group, Joseph Daul, did not help. After an in-depth debate, he asked fellow Members to postpone the vote. Mrs Malmström insisted on allowing more time for the new Commission to find out about the subject and for further negotiations, and for Parliament to discuss the matter more thoroughly. I do understand the huge importance of protecting personal data, but we must also remember that the United States of America is our biggest partner. We must build on mutual trust, and the fight against terrorism and the security of our citizens is our common responsibility. I voted, in accordance with my group’s line, for a postponement. Unfortunately, we lost by 15 votes. As far as I know, 35 Members of my group were not present during the vote. This is yet another proof that every vote is important. Next, in accordance with my group’s line, I voted in favour of the agreement. Parliament finally rejected the agreement by 378 votes to 196, with 31 abstentions. I am not pleased with this result, but doubtless we will soon come back to this so very important matter."@en1
