"Mr President, I would like to thank the Commission and the Council for the progress that has nonetheless been made since February, when Parliament did what was only right – in other words, rejected the SWIFT agreement. Parliament now has greater opportunity to make demands as regards the content of the agreement. An intelligent Commission and an intelligent Council would be wise to pay heed to the demands and objections made by Parliament in February. They concern our freedoms and civil rights, and that is the basis of the rule of law.
That is why we cannot allow the mass transmission of data without restrictions. Such an agreement mixes together innocent citizens with those who may be guilty. We can only allow data to be passed on where there are strong reasons to suspect the person concerned of being involved in crime. It is claimed that there are technical problems inherent in this. If that is the case, then we must ask ourselves whether our legislation should be decided by the technology or by our fundamental freedoms and civil rights. To me the answer is obvious: our legislation must be based on our rights."@en1
