This report concerns yet another rejection by Parliament – of a Spanish government initiative from April 2003, a measure that forms part of the so-called ‘fight against terrorism’, which seeks to establish an agreement with the USA on the communication of airline passenger data. We are strongly opposed to such a move, even though this is a
since various airlines already pass on such information. We therefore welcome the fact that Parliament’s Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs has delivered a negative opinion on the matter.
The initiative seeks to transmit to the USA personal data which, according to the information made available, would cover thirty-four areas, including telephone numbers, credit card details, political opinions, family background, religious beliefs and health. No effective checks or safeguards are provided for, which places citizens’ rights, freedoms and guarantees in jeopardy.
This is an unacceptable move that breaches the European directive on protection of personal data. Currently, individual countries are responsible for ensuring that people are protected as regards the data contained in passenger name records. This proposal seeks to limit a country’s ability to block the transfer of data, in order to guarantee its citizens’ rights."@en1
