"Madam President, it may well be that better terms were negotiated in the agreement on PNR data with Australia than with the US. This changes nothing in relation to the basic problem of data protection, however, because the storing of PNR data has nothing to do with the identification of suspects at border checkpoints. On the contrary, what will happen is that the data belonging to all passengers will be stored willy-nilly where no grounds for suspicion exist in order subsequently to identify risky travellers.
It is particularly problematic that this huge infringement of fundamental rights is carried out in the name of combating terrorism, even though there is no evidence proving that PNR data is of any benefit in the fight against terrorism. Experts actually believe that even those individual successful investigations put forward to justify the retention of PNR data would also have been possible without PNR. Thus, we should not regard it as progress that the push procedure is to be used to forward data to Australia, after all this is the only regulation that is even half-way compatible with EU data protection law.
Accordingly, data protection will remain illusory, even in relation to the agreement with Australia. In general, we should put an end to the practice of passing on data where no grounds for suspicion exist."@en1
