author. - (DE) Mr President, representatives of the Commission, I urge you to take this question that we have asked extremely seriously, because what we are concerned with here is the fundamental matter - as has just been said - of whether there is any point in working on data protection provisions if, at the same time, agreements are being negotiated behind the back of the European Parliament, and perhaps even behind the backs of the national parliaments, that undermine these standards.
autor. - (DE) Austatud juhataja! Komisjoni esindajad, palun teid tungivalt suhtuda väga tõsiselt küsimusse, mille teile esitasime, sest meile teeb muret põhimõttelise tähtsusega küsimus - nagu siin just öeldi -, kas on mõtet töötada välja andmekaitsenormid, kui samal ajal peetakse Euroopa Parlamendi ja võib-olla isegi liikmesriikide selja taga läbirääkimisi, mis kahjustavad neid standardeid.
