lpv:translated text	"Mr President, thank you for your flexibility in allowing me to speak later than expected. I would like to begin by thanking the Commission for its statement and for the solid progress made on this matter. You will be aware that, three years ago, Parliament staunchly opposed the introduction of rules relating to the use of body scanners because, at that time, you were actually asking for a in order to do what the Member States wanted without going into detail. Much has happened in the meantime. Tests and trials have taken place at a number of airports. The technology has evolved enormously, and discussions have also taken place between the Parliament and your departments. You will be aware that we adopted a resolution a few months ago in which we summed up our conditions. You have taken them almost entirely on board. It is important that the introduction of body scanners in airports should not be compulsory. It is to remain optional. It is still possible for people to refuse to be scanned and to opt for an alternative screening method. Account has been taken of our demands concerning public health: scanners with ionising radiation are being prohibited. Strict conditions regarding privacy are also being attached. I am thinking, in particular, of the fact that security personnel are not allowed to make eye contact with a person going through the scanner, that images may not be stored, and that they are blurred. We would have preferred stick figures – that is a small nuance that does make a difference – but overall, we feel that we are able to support these proposals and that we, Parliament, must be consistent. You have taken account of our viewpoint. Let us now move ahead."@en1
