"Madam President, the approval by the European Parliament of the first agreement on the transfer of passenger name record data with a third country is an historic moment and it is happening because account has been taken, perhaps not of all, but of most of the European Parliament’s main concerns and comments. Protection of personal data – and I think that we all agree here – is a very sensitive and important issue to European citizens and, as such, the European Parliament needs to fight – and it is fighting – to defend the rights of the European citizens that we have all been elected to represent. Let us hope that negotiations on the agreement with the United States and Canada continue and end in the same spirit. Today’s approval of the agreement illustrates that, despite the differences between our and a third country’s legal system, it is possible to negotiate at European level and dubious bilateral agreements with individual Member States can be avoided. I should like to take this opportunity to stress that the European Parliament wishes to see a clear link between the agreement being negotiated with the US and the general agreement on transatlantic protection of personal data also under negotiation. Finally, I should like to express my serious concern at the fact that Article 16 of the Treaty of Lisbon on the protection of personal data – which is the appropriate legal basis – was not taken as the legal basis. May I remind the House that the European Data Protection Supervisor has also expressed reservations on this point."@en1
