lpv:translated text	". In December 2003, the Commission, exceeding its competences, concluded an agreement with the USA on transmitting air passenger data. Only later did it table its draft decision to the Council and to Parliament. As we have previously stated, we are vehemently opposed to that agreement. Under the pretext of the ‘war on terror’, personal data are to be transmitted to the USA, covering 34 areas – including telephone numbers, credit card details, political opinions, family background, religious convictions and state of health – without any safeguards or effective monitoring. This state of affairs only goes to show how the so-called ‘war on terror’ is used to undermine citizens’ rights, freedoms and safeguards. As we have previously stated, this is an unacceptable and illegal agreement, which violates the European directive on data protection. The responsibility for ensuring the protection of people in terms of the basic data on air passengers currently lies with individual countries, yet this agreement seeks to remove from individual countries any responsibility effectively to block transfers in order to safeguard citizens’ rights. We consequently agree with the overall thrust of this resolution, especially as it calls on the Commission to block the current system of transmitting data to the USA and to withdraw its proposal for a decision."@en1
