lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I should like to take a stand against the black and white terms in which this debate is all too often held. It also appears, some of the time, that the United States is an enemy instead of an ally in the fight against terrorism. One may well deny it, but just about every measure that has been taken has come under fire from this House. It is, of course, the case that the SWIFT case evokes a number of justified questions, which Members from various groups have already asked. Where, for example, do you draw the line between tracking down terrorists and respecting fundamental rights? It is a question, in fact, that has also been put to the American Congress. In the final analysis, the fight against terror is largely related to risk analysis, the calculation of probability, in other words. The processing of commercial data on top of personal data pure and simple can make a useful contribution in this respect. What we must do, though, is to put guarantees in place to prevent misuse. For example, among other things, this House must monitor the functioning of the system, as well as the algorithms that are used which, moreover, have to be highly confidential; sanctions must be put in place in the case of misuse; the information obtained may be used only for the purpose of combating terrorism, and there must be a call centre where complaints from the public can be handled. It goes without saying that this requires a great deal of consultation with the United States. A clear legal framework is needed, and, in creating one, all partners must be open to fresh ideas and new techniques."@en1
