"Madam President, I would like to thank the Commission for its statement today. It was very interesting.
There is no disagreement between the Commission and Parliament on the inclusion of body scanners as an additional security measure in the fight against terrorism. However, I still have some concerns about the way we are moving forward. We know that technology is already available which addresses the health, privacy and data protection concerns of screened passengers and would avoid passenger exemptions, yet the implementing measures produced by the Commission have failed to specify that the body image must be in the form of a stick figure, which colleagues have already raised, nor does it specify that backscatter radiation equipment is unacceptable to this Parliament, especially when there are effective alternatives.
In addition, Commissioner, we need to raise our game in the areas of cross-border intelligence, counter-terrorism measures, the use of central reservation systems and, not least, passenger profiling in order to identify potential terrorists before they even reach our airports.
It is essential that we find a more sophisticated way forward in the fight against terrorism. To achieve one-stop security, we must have uniform rules applied in a harmonised and coherent manner across Europe."@en1
