lpv:translated text	". Dictatorships are keen to detain critical foreign visitors at their borders or send them straight home from their airports. The United States, too, has a tradition of barring those regarded as enemies or as dangerous influences. The most effective way to get into the US as a suspected person is to have one’s visit enforced by means of an extradition order by an American judge. Visits of one’s own free will are already in practice affected by the attempt to demand thirty-nine items of personal data on each and every passenger on transatlantic flights, including the choice of meals as a means towards determining whether someone is a Moslem. On 20 May, I was one of those who took part in the protest against this at Schiphol airport in the Netherlands. Europe cannot prevent the US from refusing entry to visitors from abroad, but that does not mean that the EU itself must cooperate in collecting data of this sort within Europe for the Americans’ purposes. Such cooperation is and remains contrary to European standards on the protection of privacy. I am glad that the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs has lent its unanimous support to a ban on the transmission of data by airlines and automated booking systems, if this discriminates against those who are not US citizens, the data is kept for long periods and if information or review procedures are not in place."@en1
