"Mr President, to date two stringent Parliament resolutions have been allowed to jeopardise European citizens’ fundamental right to protection of personal data. US agencies can directly access data on the flight passenger list with no guarantee that the permission of those concerned will be asked, and with no guarantee of their right to have details
corrected, or that they will have recourse to a lawyer or an independent authority. There are no guarantees on the duration and the purpose of authorising data and, despite the efforts made by the Commission, the prospects for the future are not encouraging: the data of millions of European citizens who book trips to America will, therefore, be kept for years in US databases. In what way, though, will keeping all their credit card data enhance our security? How are we going to deny other countries something tomorrow that we are today granting to the US? We called for reciprocity as regards citizens’ rights, but the Commission is instead, rather ironically, proposing reciprocity in the exchange of data between security agencies. Let us be careful. If monitoring becomes the norm instead of an exception, if a majority is under suspicion instead of an individual and if all citizens become suspects, then we are heading towards a worrying future."@en1
