SWIFT: Der Fragenkatalog
Die wohl putzigste unter den [Nicht]-Antworten von SWIFT ist jene, in der auf eine "unabhängige Audit Firma" verwiesen wird, die aufpasst, dass mit Europas Finanzdaten kein Missbrauch wie etwa Datamining betrieben wird.

Secondly, SWIFT has commissioned an external independent audit firm to provide assurance that the protections and conditions are fully adhered to. The auditors review the search records and give SWIFT the assurance that the data has only been viewed and used for terrorism investigations.
