"Mr President, the SWIFT scandal, in conjunction with the problematic recital of the recent decision by the European Court of the otherwise correct rejection of the transfer of Passenger Name Records agreement, highlight an exceptionally dangerous grey zone which is starting to arise around the use of sensitive personal data to combat terrorism.
To be specific, any third country, not just the USA, now appears to be able, merely by citing even fictitious reasons of national security, to define:
firstly, the decision-making level in the European Union; in other words, if decisions will be taken at Community or national level;
secondly, which European legislation will apply and
thirdly, the level, therefore, for permitted access, use and protection of the data of millions of innocent citizens, which are collated and kept – listen to this – by private companies, not even by the police authorities, and for private reasons.
This legal black hole must be closed at once and one very important way is for the bridge or so-called passerelle to function at long last; in other words, for Parliament to have a decisive say.
The pillars cannot apply here. PNR, SWIFT, data retention: in all these private individuals are collating data and the police are using them on the pretext of terrorism. There are no pillars. It is one thing."@en1
