"− Following the significant defeat of the EU’s draft SWIFT agreement with the United States, a resolution has come back to us that is worthy of our strongest criticism because it accepts the idea of a major exchange of data in the area of the so-called ‘fight against terrorism’. Many specialists have stated that the protection of rights, freedoms and guarantees are not ensured under such an agreement. The so-called ‘SWIFT agreement’ and the framework agreement on the protection and sharing of data constitute a threat, not a guarantee of security. There is a different understanding of data protection, competencies, legislation and privacy where EU-US relations are concerned. These issues need to be clarified before the Commission is given a new mandate. Nevertheless, the majority of this House has given the Commission a truly blank cheque by setting ambiguous limitations such as ‘proportionality’ or ‘reciprocity’. This opens a veritable Pandora’s box against liberty and promotes the removal of functions from the Member States, such as the decision over transferral of data about their citizens, which is being given to a European ‘judicial public authority’. There is no possibility of ‘proportionality’ and ‘reciprocity’ in the case of bulk data storage and transfer, since it involves a series of uncontrollable dangers, specifically relating to who has access, how the data are used and for what purpose."@en1
