"Mr President, it would appear from the debate, both today and on other occasions, that we all agree that everything possible must be done to combat terrorism, organised crime and immigration. We also all agree that there must be police and judicial cooperation in order to achieve results in this sector and we also all agree that information needs to be exchanged between the competent bodies in each Member State for the purpose of the cross-border combating of crime, terrorism and immigration.
Where do we disagree? Where is our disagreement focused? It focuses on the point that we must take care of the human rights chapter. We must take care of the personal data protection chapter and there is, I think, no one who disagrees with this position. The question is, where must we draw the line in order to strike a balance between the general public interest and private interests? I am of the opinion that, because we are all sensitive to the issue of human rights, there is no need for an auction; the auction which some people are trying to create or present in this chapter is an insult. I would, however, say this: that academic debate is not needed in the face of reality. The ancient Romans said, '

I am of the opinion that the three rapporteurs have presented balanced reports and that is why I congratulate them and call on the House to put prejudices aside and to support these reports."@en1
