"Mr President, the delegation of the Dutch Freedom Party attaches particular importance to everyone’s privacy and to data protection. We are not being short-sighted here, just pragmatic. However, privacy has its limits. Privacy should be guaranteed wherever possible, but the security of civilians must be secondary to the prevention and detection of terrorism.
Mr President, contemporary terrorism is dominated by Islamic terrorism. That is the reason why we all, unfortunately, need to sacrifice a little bit of our privacy, in order to protect the security of our citizens. Obviously, the personal data of internet users, such as IP addresses, ought to be protected. This right to protection, however, is outweighed where there is a strong suspicion that the individuals who are hiding behind that data have terrorist motives.
If the US authorities ask for data on individuals on EU territory who are associated with terrorism, they should simply be given it, but, obviously, only after proper consultation and where there are strong arguments for this, so that we can prevent abuse. However, let us, above all, not forget that they are not asking for information just for kicks. They have very good reasons for doing so."@en1
