EU 'pulled over the table' on passenger data

EU "pulled over the table" on passenger data - "A closer reading of the documents shows that the triumphantly announced breakthrough rather resembles a capitulation to the USA, warned representatives of the ALDE and the Greens. 'The EU was pulled over the table,' judged Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert (ALDE). In particular, it was criticized that the German presidency had emphasized the reduction of the categories of transferred data. The question asked twice by Green Kathalijne Buitenweg to Commissioner Frattini, which data would no longer be transferred in fact, he did not answer. It was only a summary of the data in fewer categories, the deputies complained."
