lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Madam President-in-Office, Mr Frattini, ladies and gentlemen, I was concerned at the allegations published in the New York Times about a secret programme whereby the database of the SWIFT organisation – through which most of the world’s financial transactions pass – was intercepted by the CIA. This programme was confirmed by both SWIFT and the US Treasury Secretary. We must restate our determination, on both sides of the Atlantic, to combat terrorism resolutely and effectively, but this must not be at the expense of full respect for fundamental rights and the rule of law. Regardless of my personal opinions on the matter, what appears to have happened is that data has been transferred to the United States with the aim of preventing and combating terrorism and other crimes. In other words, these are operations relating to public security and the activities of the Member State in its area of criminal law. If this is the case, it is clearly outside Community law. This was what I took to be Mr Frattini’s first reaction, through his spokesman, when he mentioned the extra-Community nature of this issue. I do not know if this was lost in translation, or if Mr Frattini actually told us today, that in his view Directive 95/46 applies in this case. This is an issue that needs to be resolved; either Directive 95/46 will be applied or the situation is outside the first pillar and outside Community law, and therefore the call for this framework decision on data protection under the third pillar to be adopted is justified. In any event, the Member States must protect these data. I therefore welcome the decision by the Belgian Government to launch an inquiry to discover what actually happened and the legality in respect of national law. I await the results of this inquiry with interest."@en1
