"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I find it regrettable that we have rejected the motion for a resolution by Ms Ernst and her group, as it would have clearly proven, and provided evidence in support of, the opinion of the Court of Justice of the European Union that this agreement is in violation of the Treaties of the European Union.
Every means possible is currently being used to encroach on citizens’ rights in the name of combating the risk of international terrorism. Kowtowing to the United States is not a very good signal for Europe to be sending to its citizens. We are moving towards mass surveillance, with information being held about people. It is not just about these data in particular; it is about the association of an incredible amount of data – including bank data – so that mass surveillance is, in truth, getting ever closer to becoming a reality. It is yet another brick in the wall for civil liberties. I therefore voted with deep conviction against this agreement, all the more so given that there is also a lack of reciprocity. Europe is paying for this again, and we are once again drawing the short straw – there is no reciprocity. The volumes of data that are available to the US will not be transferred to us. I have therefore rejected this agreement, and I find it regrettable that the majority in this House did not do likewise."@en1
