SWIFT: MEPs want to limit data transfers to USA (Press release, pdf):

"MEPs called on Wednesday for bulk transfers of personal data to the USA to be avoided, if necessary by processing them within the EU, and for Europe's citizens to be guaranteed the right of appeal to the US authorities. These demands were made in a debate on the key points of a new draft accord on transfers of bank data to the United States for anti-terrorism purposes."

Background: The European Parliament to vote on PNR (ASFJ blog, link)
