I voted for the EU-US agreement on the use and transfer of passenger name records to, and from, the United States for a number of reasons. Firstly, the agreement regulates and limits the obligation to provide data under US law, forcing the US to make compromises with the EU; it is far better than the 2007 agreement, than existing bilateral agreements and than no agreement. Secondly, passengers’ personal data constitute an essential instrument for combating terrorism and other types of cross-border crime, such as drug and people trafficking. Thirdly the right to security of passengers and of people in general is no less important than the right to personal data protection; the personal data in question do not include sensitive data and the agreement ensures a satisfactory balance between the right to security and the right to personal data-protection, and I do not therefore consider it incompatible with European law in this regard. Finally, the agreement gives EU and Member State security services access to the US authorities’ data and research findings, thereby aiding European security, since the EU does not have its own system for collecting and processing passengers’ personal data."@en1
