"I voted against the SWIFT agreement between the Council of the European Union and the United States of America, because I consider that the guarantees in terms of data protection are inadequate. Without questioning the fact that the fight against terrorism is indispensable, as the threat is more than real today, I am convinced that we cannot guarantee the security of European citizens without, at the same time, guaranteeing full respect for their personal data.
As things stand, the provisions in the SWIFT agreement for cases in which the United States could transmit European data to third countries are too vague. There needs to be clear provision regulating these exchanges of data. As for the possible remedies open to citizens or undertakings which consider that their data may not have been processed correctly, Article 11 of the agreement is far from adequate.
While it guarantees data protection where data are processed in the territory of the European Union, what happens to European data processed in the United States? Negotiations will need to be conducted in a transparent and democratic manner, with the full and complete support of the European Parliament, as provided for under the Treaty of Lisbon for this type of international agreement."@en1
