"There is a dangerous edge to the report on the EU-Australia agreement on airlines handling and sharing passenger name record data, as it forms part of a security policy centred on the so-called war against terror and, as we are aware, freedoms, guarantees and democratic values are under threat. The report uses the measures set out and the assessment of the agreement between the EU and Australia as justification, on the basis of the assumption that the countries will be able to and will continue to demand any data that they deem necessary, so there should ideally be an attempt to regulate this exchanging and sharing of information. We would also stress the reference to the sovereignty of third countries as a way of justifying information sharing. This demagogical line of argument by the EU once again reveals its true nature. We regret that the issue of sovereignty is not dealt with robustly when we are talking about countries’ economic sovereignty. Sharing information constitutes a key means of opening the doors to the aforementioned abuses. We advocate the need to combat all forms of crime, but this must be done, first and foremost, at source and through prevention. We do not accept any exchange of freedom for more security because, in the end, we will lose both."@en1
