"Mr President, we fully support Mrs Paciotti’s report and its conclusions. The ‘safe harbour’ agreement would mean that we would have to transfer data to American businesses, companies and corporations without the possibility of recourse to an independent authority in the event of improper or illegal use of the data, and that we would therefore not even be protected by those minimal guarantees which exist in the Union.
During the hearing held by the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs, we took on board the concerns of the representatives of American consumers regarding the inadequacy of the American protection system and we also noted the need, expressed by President Clinton, for the United States to introduce an organic law on the protection of personal data. If we adopt this report, we will not only be expressing our political will to succeed in concluding an agreement containing protection clauses which respect European legislation, but we will also be encouraging a large proportion of Congress and of United States’ public opinion to develop personal data protection laws.
If such laws are not produced and the changes called for in the Paciotti report are not made, we may as well call the agreement with the United States the ‘dangerous harbour’ agreement."@en1
