We welcome the fact that the majority in Parliament, which includes us, has rejected the so-called SWIFT agreement between the EU and the United States of America.
The existence of these databases and the exchange of or access to this data, whether by the US authorities, EU agencies or the authorities of the Member States, creates a great deal of uncertainty, leading to dangers that cannot be controlled as a result of the effective control over citizens by the authorities. Criminals and the innocent, suspects and those not under suspicion alike will all be caught up in a process that does not provide any assurances, as is being demonstrated, of its effectiveness.
The implementation of this agreement would mean maintaining flawed measures that are being taken as part of the so-called fight against terrorism and the intentional placing of this issue into the media with a view to the suppression of rights. We support the need to fight all forms of criminality, but this must be done above all by focusing on the origin and prevention of these phenomena and not by placing the emphasis on vague security measures that infringe public freedoms and citizens’ fundamental rights and guarantees, further weakening the democracy which we have.
We do not accept any exchange of liberty for more security because, in the end, we will lose both. Rather, we support a more secure society with broad democratic rights and freedoms."@en1
