"We need to step back here and say clearly: mass surveillance is not
what we want," said Jan Philipp Albrecht, a German Green MEP in charge
of overhauling the European Union's outdated data protection laws.
MEPs said the EU privacy overhaul and existing transatlantic

our minds to ending the programme," said Martin Ehrenhauser, an
Austrian independent member of the European Parliament, citing the
Swift and airline data agreements.
