Statement issued by the French delegation on the occasion of the Council Decision authorising the Presidency to sign the draft reply to the letter from the US Secretary of the Treasury regarding access to SWIFT data
(2007/C 166/11)
The French delegation has requested that the following statement be entered in the minutes of the Council adopting the abovementioned ‘A’ item, and that it be published in the Official Journal of the European Union (‘C’ series):
‘France accepts the signature by the Presidency of the Council of the letter referred to in 10741/07 JAI 319 ECOFIN 270 ADD 1 REV 1 RESTREINT UE, insofar as the Commission and the Council Legal Service confirm (see DS 568/2/07 REV 2 and 10908/07) that the commitments by the US authorities, SWIFT's compliance with Safe Harbour principles, and the procedure followed by the Commission and the Council will ensure that Community provisions on data protection are complied with. The French delegation stresses the role which will fall to the eminent European in checking that the US authorities' undertakings are carried out, and considers that Coreper must be kept closely informed of the proper performance of that mission.’
The Council is therefore invited to decide that this statement should be published in Official Journal of the European Union (‘C’ series), together with the texts referred to in paragraph 3 of 11039/07 JAI 341 ECOFIN 287.
