"I voted for the draft resolution which prevents the introduction of passenger screening as a means of tightening civil aviation security. Passenger security is vitally important, but the measures being taken should not result in the violation of citizens’ fundamental rights. The introduction of body scanning, in the form it has been currently proposed, does not guarantee respect for the right to privacy.
I believe that studies need to be carried out in order to determine the effect of introducing this measure on human health, as well as an impact assessment in order to determine the convenience of these measures. I also think that the procedures which should be adopted for handling the scanned images are extremely important. In view of this, the European Data Protection Supervisor should formulate and issue a point of view so that any measures targeted at passenger security are implemented in compliance with the regulations governing personal data.
We await with interest additional data from the European Commission relating to the measures we have in mind for improving civil aviation security. I was in favour of adopting this resolution today because the fundamental rights of the European Union’s citizens need to be protected."@en1
