"Mr President, this Parliament often tries to speak on matters that are not within its competence, often in a manner which I consider to be harmful. With respect to personal data, it is good that the European Parliament has consistently guarded the freedom of EU citizens. The fight against international terrorism and organised crime cannot lead to a situation where everyone becomes suspicious of everyone else. Prevention is important, but equally important is the protection of civil rights. I supported the report because, as the lives of millions of people are at risk, prevention is more important than repression. Nothing can return life to the victims of the terrorist attacks on New York’s Twin Towers and many others, but we can prevent similar acts of violence by monitoring suspects and sharing information about them. However, we must scrupulously see to it that information about private citizens is used only under strictly defined conditions and that its use is monitored and monitorable. Otherwise freedom and democracy replaced by dictatorship, which is exactly what the terrorists want, will come to fruition."@en1
