European Parliament
Atkins, Callanan, Dover, Hannan, Kirkhope and Stockton (PPE-DE ),
in writing
Conservative MEPs fully support the fight against terrorism and all the means which can be deployed to meet this end.
We are aware of the fact that considerable negotiations have been underway between the European Commission and the US authorities regarding passenger information. We are satisfied that the agreement which has been reached provides the right balance between privacy and the means of protecting our lives and liberties.
Whilst we understand that passengers may find this inconvenient from time to time, recent events have shown that we must all remain alert and vigilant. We are all in this fight together.
