"The rejection of the SWIFT agreement must send out an important signal to the entire international community and the other European Union bodies that the EU legislative must be consulted from now on about major decisions which now come under the remit provided by the Treaty of Lisbon.
It is evident after today’s vote in Strasbourg that MEPs are not fundamentally opposed to an understanding between the European Union and the United States of America regarding the monitoring of suspicious funds transfers via the SWIFT system. The press on the other side of the Atlantic is quick to talk about the MEPs’ vote as being a vote against the agreement. MEPs have voted to protect the personal data of EU citizens and companies. The battle against terrorism and the rapid detection of suspicious bank transfers remain as much as ever at the top of the EU’s list of priorities.
The European Commission must quickly renegotiate the terms of the SWIFT agreement so that it complies with the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and can be enforced as quickly as possible. The Romanian government, along with all the other national governments, supported the adoption of the agreement signed with the USA. The European Parliament has fulfilled its duty as an institution directly elected by citizens of the European Union, whom it has undertaken to protect."@en1
