"Mr President, I welcome this debate in advance of the Council’s formal consideration of the Commission’s proposed mandate. I also welcome the acceptance by the Commission of many of the concerns expressed by this Parliament when we rejected the interim agreement as inadequate.
Regretfully, due to circumstances beyond our control here today, we cannot adopt a Parliament position on the draft mandate. We will vote on 6 May, and I strongly urge the Council not to sign off on an agreement before that date. This Parliament’s consent is a treaty requirement, as indeed is compliance with the Charter of Fundamental Rights in any agreement that the Council signs off on. It is extremely important to bear in mind that a short delay will be far less damaging to EU-US relations than a second rejection of a draft agreement.
I, like many others, have continuing concerns about block data transfer and indeed the control of that data once it leaves our control. I am not satisfied so far that what is being proposed is, in fact, going to address those concerns. I do want closer cooperation between the European Union and the United States of America, but that cooperation must be based on mutual respect for citizens’ rights."@en1
