".
I have voted for the terms of this agreement which would prevent an unacceptable amount of personal passenger data being transmitted to the US authorities.
While I fully respect the need for the highest possible level of vigilance against terrorism, the terrorists will have won if we sacrifice civil liberties and human rights under the pretext of ensuring security.
The current draft agreement permits excessive personal data to be transferred: it also allows unlimited access to, and retention of, such data. It denies passengers the right to correct incorrect data or lodge appeals with an independent authority if they are denied entry to the US.
I am very disappointed that Ireland voted for this agreement, thus giving the green light to unwarranted intrusions into the privacy of Irish passengers.
The Commission must modify its draft agreement text to ensure that European citizens' data protection rights are protected. Irish and European passengers deserve to know that their basic civil liberties will not be sacrificed in the fight against terrorism."@en1
