"Mr President, for me it is obvious that the EU still has no say in the negotiations with the US. The twin-track approach is just proof of the Council and Commission’s failure to protect European interests and citizens.
The fact that Member States are left alone to negotiate bilaterally with the US undermines our credibility and strength on the international scene and it might be to the detriment of our citizens whose data might be exchanged without any democratic scrutiny.
I believe that Member States should act in a European framework and I want the Commission to show determination and make our US partner understand that equal rights and equal treatment are not negotiable.
The ETAS that will be put in place could be a positive evolution as entry applications would be evaluated on the basis of each individual and not according to the country of origin. This would be a first step for equal treatment.
No matter the nationality, we have to make Europe without internal borders a reality and ensure equal treatment for all Europeans."@en1
