"Mr President, I should just like to say that the current situation is illegal and that a proposal for reform is not credible when it comes from those who have so far been unable to enforce the existing form. The United States has the right to ask for any data it likes before flights; this has to be done, however, through procedures that conform to our rules.
The United States, if it wished, could even reintroduce compulsory visas: it can do that. What it cannot do is take data collected for commercial purposes and use them for security purposes. It is not a matter of the United States being bad. No Member State, no European government could do that. I do not think, therefore, that we can tolerate a situation where a state that is not a European Union member can do something that a Member State cannot."@en1
