The European Parliament has overturned Washington’s call for sharing transactions’ details to track down sponsors of terror.
The European Parliament should ask all US Bank database first , they think European parliament and all citizen of Europe are so silly before asking such Details,we are not ------- in europe,life is Give and take, God Bless Europe and all people in Europe Parliament
Their excuse of "war on terror" is so lame that anyone can see it...the real deal is that the US power wants to control all the money exchange in the World. Why should we accept that a foreign power checks our lives and our bank accounts?? Thank God no one likes their pockets, c.cards or b.accounts being scrutinized by anyone else but maybe, their spouses. I am glad that this horror was not permitted!
Good. The US and UK are always using terrorism as an excuse to increase the Big Brother society. Unlike Britain, the EU does sometimes tell US government to get lost.
After what England did to Iceland - calling it a terrorist country because of a financial dispute - I would distrust any international deal like this just to "fight terrorism". How "terrorism" is defined nowadays is very flexible. TOO flexible.
