"Mr President, the need to decisively combat terrorism in the European Union and, alongside that, the need to forge close and constructive cooperation with the United States is something that no one contests. Nonetheless, I have voted against the SWIFT agreement, because fundamental data protection issues have still not been clarified. In addition, the contempt shown to Parliament while the agreement was being negotiated was quite simply unacceptable. I very much hope that Parliament will now be fully involved and that we will not have any repeat of this situation.
An international agreement to regulate data exchange is certainly necessary, but it must not be allowed to flout civil liberties and fundamental rights. Whenever European data is transferred to third parties, we must also ensure that we safeguard the data protection interests of EU citizens. I will continue to strive for this."@en1
