"I voted in favour of the new Passenger Name Records (PNR) Agreement because it strikes a balance between data protection and the security of European citizens. The United States, a longstanding partner, and Europe are pursuing the same goal: the fight against terrorism. However, as an MEP, I shall keep a close watch to ensure that our high standards of protection of privacy are the norm in any agreement signed by the European Union. Lastly, to have rejected it would have been tantamount to leaving a legal gap for airlines and passengers. Without the support of Europe, the United States would have favoured bilateral agreements. European passengers would not have enjoyed sufficient guarantees. This agreement had to be adopted to defend all these fundamental freedoms."@en1
