".
I voted with conviction in favour of the report, and am pleased that the majority has refused to yield to the strong political pressure and is making its voice heard with regard to justice and security policies. By preventing information on millions of European transfers and banking transactions being passed on to the United States via SWIFT for even longer, Parliament is showing that it takes seriously the fundamental rights laid down in the Treaty of Lisbon.
The EU Presidency and the European Commission must now call off the interim agreement with the United States of America and go back to the negotiating table, equipped with the requirements laid down in the resolution adopted by the European Parliament in September 2009. First, however, an open debate must be held on the substance of the relationship between, on the one hand, security policy and the fight against terrorism and, on the other hand, minimum guarantees of fundamental civil rights and respect for the privacy of hundreds of millions of citizens. I am pleased that the blackmail and political pressure did not work. After all, it is nonsense to claim that respect for civil rights and privacy is an obstacle to the fight against terrorism. We in the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance are prepared to cooperate on an efficient, strict security policy, but one that respects constitutional rights and also pays attention to the causes of crime and terrorism."@en1
