"Mr President, the security of our citizens is of paramount interest to us all, and it is all too easy for us to be painted as soft on fighting terrorism when we stand and ask for the civil liberties of our citizens to be protected. I have seen that happen time and time again by many national parliamentarians when it comes to actions that this House takes. SWIFT has, of course, many examples of success, and we support all of those examples, but it is equally important also to concentrate our minds on those instances where SWIFT has failed or let us down. There have been many failed or bad investigations in the European Union. In my constituency alone, 12 innocent people were detained and were not able to be charged. At the time they were detained, we were informed that financial transactions were part of the substantial evidence against them. What can we learn from those bad instances? Council, let us step back. We have time. Our backs are not against the wall. There is a way forward. Let us defer. Council, go back; do this properly – not for the sake of this House, but for the sake of our citizens."@en1
