It is not agreed. Given the level of leaks of classified and restricted documents of late from the US, in particular on wikileaks.org, and the question of data protection, which this motion must properly address, rather than pass this motion I suggest we delay its passage until the full extent of the undermining of restricted and sensitive documentation in the US has ended. In this way, European and Irish citizens in particular can know that whatever documentation and data is being processed and sent to the US falls within a proper data protection regime rather than having the possible consequence of exposure in The Guardian or wherever else the material from wikileaks.org turns up.
