lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Mrs Paciotti has produced an excellent, very logical report, precise in its observations and balanced in its conclusions. She has taken account both of the requisite protection for individuals against any misuse of their own personal data and of the need to reach an agreement with the United States as quickly as possible so as not to put a brake upon the development of trade. At a time when it seems certain that an information society will be developed on the back of the new technologies, we think it vital immediately to implement the means needed to protect the consumer and the citizen from the abuses inherent in the marketing and innovative techniques that are so greedy for accurate information. In the context of an agreement with the United States, the rapporteur emphasised the extent to which this country lacked any legally binding standard on personal data protection. So American firms may use all the data they wish without the Federal State finding fault with this. We feel that it is particularly dangerous that the Commission should be willing to ratify an agreement that offers so few guarantees for the citizen. The ‘safe harbour’ system proposed by the American authorities offers no protection at all. It is a voluntary standard which American firms would themselves apply internally and then only with regard to Europeans. This text, moreover, does not give citizens the right to go to court if their rights are flouted. It would be a great shame, particularly now that, after years of discussion, the Council appears to be willing to set up a proper European body to monitor the use of personal data, if we were to ease off the pressure in terms of our demands on the subject with regard to third countries in general and the United States in particular. It is a condition for any real protection of citizens’ individual liberties. In conclusion, I should like to remind the Commission that personal data protection is an integral part..."@en1
