".
The Commission would like to start by clearing up a misunderstanding that seems to underlie this question. At present there is no decision and no agreement. There is therefore nothing to abrogate.
There is an American law which requires airlines flying to or from the United States to provide access to their passenger name records. Most airlines are complying with this. That is understandable in view of the fact that there may be negative consequences for these airlines and for their passengers if they do not supply the data to the United States.
February's joint statement brought with it a US commitment to work with the Commission towards achieving a so-called adequacy finding regarding the level of data protection provided by the United States. The honourable Member is right, the Commission does not consider that the American arrangements amount to adequate protection. That in itself is not yet a reason to stop the process. Instead, the Commission is energetically pursuing the process with the aim of persuading the United States to improve its arrangements so that an adequacy finding can be made and a proper legal framework for passenger name record transfers can be provided.
The Commission, as I told Parliament's relevant committee on 9 September 2003, is working to a deadline of Christmas 2003."@en1
