I have voted against the Passenger Name Record (PNR) agreement with the US and Australia because I believe that data protection now plays an increasingly important and fundamental role, which is why it needs to be respected. Despite a number of positive changes, the PNR agreement allows the US to transfer a great deal of personal data about passengers and to retain it for five-and-a-half years. As a citizen of the European Union, which upholds freedom to travel and respect for privacy as fundamental civil rights, I cannot support this agreement. I believe that, although civil liberties should not be sacrificed to an excessive campaign against terror and crime, nonetheless it is possible to find the right balance between preventing crime and protecting the personal data of our citizens. Because this balance is not in evidence here, however, I have decided to vote against the agreement."@en1
