Our "friends", the Eurofuckweasels, show their true colors once again: yellow.
Commission pressed over airline data exchange
The European Parliament has given the European Commission two months to ban the transfer of sensitive passenger data when EU citizens fly to the US, or it faces the risks of being brought before the Court of Justice.
In a resolution adopted almost unanimously today by MEPs, the Commission has been asked to determine what non-sensitive data can be transferred to the US, and to conclude within two months whether the level of data protection offered by the US is adequate.
"As Guardian of the Treaties the European Commission must ensure that airline companies operating in Europe comply with EU data protection legislation", Dutch Liberal MEP Johanna Boogerd-Quaak, who drafted the resolution said.
"This means ensuring that all transfers of sensitive passenger data to US Customs and Border Protection are stopped within a very short period of time".
After the attacks of 11 September 2001, the US is demanding airlines to provide it with electronic access to 39 information fields from the Passenger Name Record (PNR) data, which includes elements like credit card information, addresses and the passengers' meal choice.
This amount of data is seen as "excessive" by MEPs, and "out of proportion to the aim pursued".
Jeebus..."out of proportion to the aim pursued"?!
Excuse me Ms Boogerd-Quaak but just what part of 9/11 didn't you get? The hijacking of aircraft by eighteeen Saudi nationals, the murder of thousands of innocent people going about their lives (a percentage of whom were Europeans) or the destruction of a significant portion of lower Manhattan?
Tell it to a Liberal presidential candidate Ms. Boogerd-Quaak, I am sure they understand your point of view and will be more than happy to accomodate The Guardian of the Treaties and the EU in its pursuit of our ruination.
However, until such time as our native LeftieWeasels gain the White House, stick a Gouda in your gob and STFU.
