"The European strategy on the provision of personal data on travellers is an important step towards the harmonisation of legislation in this area. The existence of a number of parallel legislative initiatives shows the need for consistency. It must be said, however, that this strategy has a number of shortcomings, particularly in the area of personal data protection, as has been mentioned here several times.
The Commission document recently published in September also criticised the European Data Protection Supervisor. I agree with the part of the criticism which relates to levels of necessity and authorisation concerning requests for a particular type of data. In my opinion, we need to place strict limits on the possibility of data being used to create profiles and estimate risk.
Such data handling requires greater justification than is contained in the actual text and, at the time, we must better specify how to prevent data being misused.
I would now like to mention a couple of examples from other agreements, including an agreement between the EU and the US concerning the provision of passenger data to the American Department of Homeland Security. The agreement includes a controversial comparison between this data and data from databases on immigrants. I do not know, but in my opinion, this condition does not correspond to the aim of the agreement, which is to combat terrorism and serious crime.
It will therefore be essential for us to avoid such controversial errors when formulating these agreements in the future, and I hope that the Commission will manage that, as we definitely cannot consider the current document to be satisfactory, particularly in the area of personal data protection."@en1
