"− The matter at issue in the vote was the renewal of an agreement which, by means of detecting bank transactions, has been extremely important in the fight against terrorism which, in recent years, has chosen Western societies as its target. If the resolution were approved and the agreement rejected, terrorist organisations could operate free of any effective control, with the serious consequences that would bring. Curiously, many of those from the extreme left who reject the agreement, on the grounds that it violates the confidentiality of personal data, are the same people who, in their countries of origin, argue for the end of bank secrecy and the release of all bank details. For these people, what is at issue is not the transfer of data but the fact that the transfer is made to the USA, a country towards which they are unable to hide their blatant hostility. Consequently, my vote against the resolution and in favour of the agreement took account only of the very specific circumstances of the need to combat terrorism by all means and the recognition of the fundamental role of the USA in this fight."@en1
