"The European Parliament has blocked a key agreement that allows the United 
States to monitor Europeans' bank transactions - angering Washington.

The US called the decision a "setback for EU-US counter-terror co-operation".

The vote was a rebuff to intensive US lobbying for EU help in counter-terrorism 
investigations.

EU governments had negotiated a nine-month deal which would have allowed the US 
to continue accessing the Swift money transfer system."
