"As a national state, Romania has supported the adoption of the SWIFT agreement. However, the European Parliament considered that the first version of the agreement negotiated by the representatives of the Commission and the US Administration breached the rights of European citizens whose data was processed in bulk rather than only on a specific basis when suspicions were aroused. It is important for the new agreement, negotiated recently in Washington between representatives of the EU and the US Congress, to address the European Parliament’s concerns. There is always the risk that the new version of the agreement will be rejected too, if it continues to contravene the European Charter of Human Rights.
The European Parliament is aware that this agreement is important even for Europeans’ security. As a result, it is becoming clear that MEPs’ objections relate to the content rather than form of the agreement. The European Parliament has acquired greater decision-making powers through the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon. It is the norm for this institution to exercise its own prerogatives and to monitor the interests of the European Union’s citizens. However, as long as the spirit of the views expressed by the European legislative are going to be preserved in the future version of the agreement, it will be adopted. The fight against terrorism and the rapid detection of suspicious bank transfers remain as much as ever at the top of the EU’s list of priorities."@en1
