"Our debate is taking place literally two days before a meeting of ministers of the 27 Member States of the European Union on the same subject. Therefore, and let us say it directly, our position is potentially a form of political pressure. We are discussing this problem at a time when the fate of the negotiating mandate in talks with the United States is in the balance. We have barely two months and one week to begin negotiations with Washington. The European Commission is not very flexible in this area. It has not proposed – with the greatest respect for Mrs Malmström – a single similar but alternative position. However, playing on the basis of ‘all or nothing’ is not only irrelevant and not in accord with the spirit of the European Union, but it is also a road to nowhere, a blind alley. I am in favour of close cooperation with the USA and exchange of data, but the devil is in the detail. While I am not an enthusiast of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, I would, however, like to ask if it is true that this mandate does not respect the provisions of the Charter. What shall we do when the passenger data which we transfer to the USA, and I am in favour of this, are used for unauthorised purposes?"@en1
