"Mr President, resolution or no resolution, I believe that the Council heard us loud and clear last time and knows full well what it has to do. This Parliament is concerned about fundamental rights and the protection of citizens’ privacy and also about data protection. These are fundamental rights, and a simple cost-benefit analysis is inappropriate where these are concerned. The grounds given for requesting data in bulk – that it is technically impossible to do things any more precisely – strikes me as a strange argument. I do not believe for a minute that this is technically impossible; as I see it, it is more a matter of money and of cost. As I said, where fundamental rights are concerned, it is not simply a matter of how much something costs.
In addition, it is important that Europe now shows itself to be an equal negotiating partner, as opposed to one that simply cosies up or waits for the United States to lay down the rules. Parliament has given the Council and the Commission the power and elbow room to approach this role seriously from now on, and in this regard, I would ask the Commission and the Council to take account of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms that is now in force. This, too, will have to be included in your mandate and the result of your negotiations. I hope you come back with the right results, I hope you use the power and authority we gave you last time, and I await what you have to show for yourselves on your return."@en1
