lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, a number of key dates have been mentioned repeatedly in this affair. The first is, without a doubt, 5 March 2003, when the United States asked airlines operating between the United States and Europe to make available all the data relating to passengers: absolutely all the data, not just, as had been the case thus far, the data necessary for air transport agreements. The second date is 15 March 2003. Just a week later, with timing worthy of an even greater cause, Parliament adopted the resolution calling for enforcement of the 1995 directive and the 1989 regulation on the protection of privacy. The third date is 23 September, today: six months after the adoption of the resolution, it would appear that nothing has changed; the United States has not responded to the Commission’s demands. We might ask whether the Americans are deaf or whether it is the Commission that is unable to find the rights words to get through to them. Thus, still today, travellers to the United States find themselves asked, in addition to the usual general questions, about their religion, their taste in food, where they last went on holiday and their close and distant relatives. That is certainly going too far. It is right that the Commission should raise its voice, that Parliament should call for more resolute endeavours such as an international agreement, perhaps, as proposed by the resolution. It would, however, seem appropriate to mention another date too: 11 September 2001. As we all remember, it was then that strict controls started to be enforced. Mindful of that appalling incident, I feel that perhaps we ought to be just a little more patient and realise that, behind what is certainly an annoying breach of confidentiality, there is still a great deal of fear. In any case, as the Commissioner said, a little flexibility might facilitate dialogue."@en1
