"Mr President, Commissioner, data protection standards in third countries still differ considerably from European standards. It is, however, our duty to ensure that European citizens are guaranteed compliance with our minimum European protection standards, on which we pride ourselves. This personal data must be fairly processed and collected for particular and legitimate purposes. European citizens should be guaranteed a right of access to and rectification of personal details concerning them and should be able to bring legal action should their rights be violated.
We must act to ensure that European and international standards can coexist and to resolve a legal dispute which is potentially detrimental to European citizens. European legislation alone is not sufficient. It must tie in and coexist intelligently with international standards, as we cannot shirk our duties and commitments towards European citizens.
This situation is similar to other debates in this Parliament. It reminds us of the relevance of projects such as the introduction of a European Terrorist Finance Tracking Programme. A system of this nature would provide us with a tool, which has proven its effectiveness in the United States, while fully respecting national law, and consequently the protection of the personal data of European citizens.
The European institutions must continue to work in this direction and to pursue fully their protection standards."@en1
