"This EU-Australia agreement on processing and sharing Passenger Name Record (PNR) data by airlines is taking on dangerous and disturbing dimensions. It slots straight into a security policy based on the claim to be fighting terrorism. As we know, many paths have been trodden in the name of this ‘crusade’, which threatens fundamental rights, freedoms and safeguards, as well as core democratic values. This report follows this path on the grounds of trying to regulate the exchange and sharing of data, instead of sending a clear signal that it rejects this wave of security and valuing the protection of the public’s data. Reference is made to the sovereignty of third countries as a way of justifying data sharing, but this is nothing more than demagoguery on the part of an EU that is jeopardising that very sovereignty through its various sectoral policies, particularly in economic terms. It is significant and revealing that a majority in Parliament has rejected a proposal by our group that the legality of the agreement be considered by the Court of Justice. This confirms the pertinence of the doubts emerging about its very legality. We do not accept exchanging freedom for security because, in the end, we will lose both. We advocate a more secure society with broad democratic rights and freedoms."@en1
