"Madam President, I agree with others and particularly the rapporteur, Sophie in’t Veld, that this is a much tighter, more focused and stronger agreement than the one in the past. It is a much better agreement because of the role of the European Parliament. I congratulate all those involved in producing an agreement that most of us will be able to vote for, despite some weaknesses. But the strengths include those mentioned: a much tighter purpose definition to limit it to terrorism and serious transnational crime, the fact that it is ‘push’ only and that the data protection safeguards on rectification and erasure and redress and also the data security provisions are good, with for instance an audit record of all access. So like other speakers I hope that this can become something of a precedent for the other two agreements, and I would draw the attention of the US authorities in particular to this agreement.
My main difficulty with the agreement is the fact that it does not deal up front with the question of profiling. The European Commission has dodged this issue for years. I did a report two and a half years ago on profiling, just before the last elections. The European Commission keeps using synonyms and keeps falling back on this phrase (which is in the agreement): that it bans any decision which significantly affects or produces an adverse legal effect on a passenger solely on the basis of the automated processing of data. The whole question of profiling goes further than that, and we need to address it, use the term, define it, say what is allowed, what is not allowed and what the safeguards are. I do not think it helps for the Commission to refuse to face up to this issue."@en1
