"Mr President, European citizens are being radicalised. They are travelling to Syria and then they are being trained, with possible motives of one day returning to our cities and streets to harm and kill us. They want to replace a Europe of freedom and peace with fear and destruction. They call themselves the Islamic State but they do not represent the Muslim faith. They are criminals and terrorists and I believe that we should refer to them as such. There is no place for this in Europe. We have dealt with such behaviour before and we will do it again by working with our communities and our young people and addressing the problems at their source. The words condemnation and education are not enough.
Leaders of the European Council, the UN Security Council and the airlines all want an EU passenger name records agreement in order for law enforcement authorities to capture EU foreign fighters and address the chaotic information exchange system that they currently face. A patchwork of 14 different PNR systems not only leaves gaps in security for terrorists to exploit, but it leaves gaps in our data protection for travellers. The issue of PNR is often presented in a polarised way, but I believe you can protect the civil liberties of the individual while protecting the safety of us all.
I urge Members to look at this agreement again. As rapporteur I would like to assure you that I will make sure we hold ourselves to the highest possible standards and put in place the toughest data protection rules we can. We must never compromise Europe’s hard fought-for civil liberties. It is also our primary duty as politicians to protect those who have elected us and to deal with and bring to justice those who seek to do us harm."@en1
